Summary
I am a high school student from Madison, Alabama, who has a background in computer science and wants to continue her education in biology and neuroscience. I am capable at leading projects and my biggest priority in life is learning how to collaborate and communicate across different groups of people. The subjects I am most passionate about are women's rights, minority rights, no food waste, accessible education, defeating mental stigma, and autoimmune awareness. I hope to eventually find myself in a position where I am able to make medicinal knowledge more accessible and utilize the growing use of AI for providing accessible healthcare, especially for women.
