Laylee Taghizadeh

I am a high school senior at Cypress Creek High School in Houston, TX. I am an aspiring pre-med student with strong aspirations in pediatrics and patient-centered care. I am the founder of a STEM summer program that provides both national and international students the opportunity to hear from guest speakers, work on a capstone project, as well as network with professionals in their field of choice. I hold leadership positions as president of the Science Olympiad team, STEM Club and Science National Honor Society, as well as event coordinator of National Honor Society and coordinator of morning announcements. Additionally, I have done independent research and published an article on the topic of celiac disease and the possible implications of stem cell treatments as a cure. I also love to tutor and teach private music lessons in my community!
