About
I am from Sparks, Nevada and I am 17. I spend most of my time watching and playing with my younger brothers and talking about movies with my parents. I want to go into the field of biomedical engineering to get a job manufacturing pharmaceuticals for teenaged pediatrics as many of the current medications are either for young kids or grown adults. As someone who has chronic migraines and has had to go through many struggles to gain access to medication that works for my age, creating medication that could work through puberty is very important to me.
