Biotechnology allowed me to understand how mechanical engineering can make an impact.
With classmates, I co-founded a startup that will distribute low cost HIV RDTs to areas in need.
Originally, we aimed to redesign packaging, but the project transformed into a supply chain innovation between a low-cost manufacturer and a private distribution chain.
We conducted research on a region we thought could benefit from this intervention.
We drafted our original idea for redesigning packaging.
We created a timeline for the project to be implemented.
We decided on the means by which we would collect data and analyze our success.
We mapped out future plans for our non-profit and how we would expand to multiple regions.
