About the author
Hi, I’m Rio. I’m a student passionate about healthcare and making a positive difference in people’s lives. I’m currently a senior at Tompkins high school, building a strong foundation in science that I hope to take into a future career in the medical field. Beyond the classroom, I’m always looking for ways to learn, grow, and give back, whether that’s through volunteer work, research opportunities, or connecting with people. My goal is to combine knowledge, compassion, and curiosity to help others live healthier, happier lives.
