Through all of my high school experiences—from clubs to internships—I have gained many skills that I have continued to polish as a freshman in college. I have been able to constantly challenge myself, lead a team and accomplish goals while collaborating with others. As the Vice President of Operations for my robotics team, I gained both soft skills – communication and leadership – as well as technical skills – data analysis. One of the most important roles I had was to coordinate with various organizations, communities, schools, students, and companies. Similarly, in college as a lead consultant at Highlander Consulting Group, I forged strong relationships with our clients and conducted benchmarking analyses for them. As a current intern at Polygence, a start-up ed-tech company, I work to increase diversity in STEM. I coordinate with the high school robotics teams to provide them with speakers of various backgrounds to host a Women in STEM panel. At USC Viterbi I work to promote and create clubs focused on making STEM more accessible and equitable. My contributions have included collaborating with different organizations to educate everyone about LGBTQ+ and race equality in STEM. As well as being engaged with Women in STEM initiatives like Women in Computing and SWE at USC. Using my knowledge of initiating programs, I would like to start the first-ever Women in Consulting group, narrowing the gender gap in engineering and helping women become more comfortable with the technology industry. My goal is to use technology as a way to bring families together and keep them healthy with the intersection of technology and medicine. It is no secret that as we continue to navigate our way further into the digital era, practically every aspect of life as we know will become dependent on technology. As society dives deeper into the digital era, it continues to become more obvious that the role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will be prominent. In fact, AI/ML have quickly become a leading operational framework for modern life. In many ways, CT scans have been at the forefront of this technological revolution as a diagnostic tool. In other ways, CT scans are rarely used quantitatively and are not able to detect all lesions a patient presents with - more than 50% of patients have a lesion that cannot be detected by a CT scan. According to this article, head injuries affect up to 60 million people each year and are the leading cause of mortality in young adults (The Engineer). The result: these deaths can be prevented by accurately classifying the underlying brain injury. As a child, my grandfather passed away from a brain tumor that was undetected until too late. However, if a similar tool, one that utilizes AI/ML to identify and quantify different types of brain lesions, existed he would have still been with me today. Tools like these show the versatility of engineering shaping all aspects of our society with its boundless range of applications. It allows future engineers to enter the frontier of technological innovation to make discoveries and design a better future. With technology, I would like to bridge the gap between males and females in STEM and create more opportunities for everyone to create tools to save lives.
