FinalistBio
I strive to become an engineer due to my interest in designing and constructing things, so I would like to earn a master’s degree in both mechanical and biomedical engineering. I became interested in biomedical engineering first since I am in the medical program of Maury High School and as I got more and more into engineering, I took a major interest in mechanical engineering. A recent interest of mine is possibly starting a business using my engineering skills, so I also may want to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
I am most passionate about relieving other people’s burdens and stress, so I would like to especially utilize the biomedical engineering knowledge in order to create designs that would further help people that are physically struggling. With the mechanical engineering knowledge, I would like to create designs that would make more actions efficient, especially for manual labor workers.
I am a great candidate because I am very dedicated to what I do. I complete my work in a timely manner, and I stay focused on what I must learn instead of being distracted by unnecessary things. I know what I want to do, and I do not plan on ever straying off of that path.
I wish to better people's lives not just through my work but by also volunteering. As of June 9, 2022, I have completed 116 hours of volunteering ever since September 2019.
