Being a changemaker is to constantly understand that the world can get better and taking small steps to creating a better tomorrow. Because I value people’s health and have an interest in medicine, I will use my research skills to compile local medicine and its production mechanisms to empower rural communities to find affordable and accessible alternatives to meet their health demands.
