Essay: Through my independent research on the possible diagnosis of endometriosis using tracer cells via academic papers, I have uncovered a passion for life sciences and using science to help women understand what is happening inside their bodies. My research has sparked an interest in biology, specifically using EMT/ VEGF cell levels in blood to pre-diagnose endometriosis, which motivates me to pursue healthcare. The NYU Simons Program will help me deepen my curiosity by allowing me to experience a science lab in a world-class facility. The Biology and Chemistry lectures/labs excite me the most. These courses would allow me to study and interact with the renowned Biological Science Staff at NYU and experience complex labs I would not be able to experience otherwise, as my community does not have many options for my interests. This program will help me expand my knowledge of the subjects and experience a complex lab, which will enhance my research skills, knowledge, and future career opportunities in health care. Beyond personal growth, this program will benefit my community by helping me develop outreach skills. Another part of this program that interests me is the social/cultural events I will experience, which I believe will help me develop my outreach skills and learn to understand people of different backgrounds. Most importantly I believe that understanding different people and where they come from will help me serve people in my future EMT job this fall. These skills will also help me impact women in my community and eventually all over the world through my app HERA. Although I am only designing the user interface right now, I hope to be able to secure funding and bring this affordable AI-powered women's health app to women everywhere. Meeting people with diverse backgrounds will allow me to adapt my app to serve everyone effectively. Outreach and diversity skills will also help me connect with more schools in my community to spread free STEM classes to as many underprivileged kids as possible. Since many science clubs at my school lack the necessary organization and understanding, the science classes will help me learn more about each subject and improve their effectiveness and participation in regional competitions.The NYU Simons Summer Program will grow my knowledge and social skills, helping me grow my projects and amplify my community impact.
