Hi, my name is Ty Bell, a current senior at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics. I consider myself a hardworking individual who wouldn’t take any opportunity for granted. I’ve had many experiences of public speaking, such as advocating for increased funding of science & technology entry programs in a conference with state legislators. I’m currently enrolled in a biomedical program at Mount Sinai at the Icahn School of Medicine, and I’m the president of my cohort. I have lab research at the Motivational and Affective Psychopathology Lab, in which I presented my research on media addiction trends at the American Museum of Natural History. I also participate in multiple clubs, and I am the sprint team captain of my high school's track team.
