Brief Biographical Sketch:

My name is Yeabsira and I am a student from Silver Spring, Maryland. A first generation immigrant, born in Ethiopia, I migrated to the United States when I was 11 years old. I have a deep appreciation for the Arts and STEM and I want to pursue both with equal vigor. I came to appreciate journalism early in my life as I saw journalists brave warzones abroad and risk imprisonment and their lives trying to report on the state of the country in Ethiopia. I saw how their reporting impacted communities for the better and I wanted to work in a similar capacity to help people. In my free time, I love to write (articles, short stories, book plots). I also want to go into Robotics and nanomedicine research in the future, much for the same reasons of helping people and because I love the various fields that come together at the intersection of both. I want to work both as an activist and to create impactful research.
