​    I am student at Westview high school in California.   I am deeply passionate about medical technology innovation and disease control. Applying the skills of biology and engineering to help solve real-world health problems is most exciting to me.  I created antibioticX.org website.  My goal is to increase antibiotic-resistance awareness around the world.
