Hi, I'm Manya Bharal

About Me - Manya Bharal
I am Manya Bharal, a passionate and driven student dedicated to innovative problem-solving and making meaningful contributions to real-world issues. Currently attending the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, my academic pursuits in fields like molecular and cellular biology complement my extensive practical experience.
My commitment to healthcare and community well-being is evident through my internships at KidzCare Pediatrics, where I enhanced patient care, and my participation in the Johns Hopkins University Medical Camp, where I conducted research and gained valuable clinical skills. I also founded "Apprise Ailments," an initiative focused on educating communities on disease prevention, and served as an English literacy teacher in India, demonstrating my global perspective and leadership.
With strong research, project management, and communication skills, I am focused on leveraging technology to create tangible solutions that empower individuals and improve lives.
Join me in creating a more accessible future for the blind.
My Mission
My Vision: Safety, Autonomy, Access
