I am currently a high school student studying in the International Baccalaureate program, who is passionate about human biology, technology, and the intersection of these fields. Driven by my interests, I have explored different healthcare technology solutions, notably through the development of my diagnostic and management app, ReAlign. With the support of the Masason Foundation, I hope to make a significant global impact through scientific endeavours, particularly in addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, the foundation will allow me to pursue further education within the research and graduate school sectors, eager to immerse myself in advanced studies and contribute to cutting-edge research. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity provided by the Foundation to apply my work on a global scale.
