My name is Alex Humphrey. I am a senior at Coronado High School in Henderson, Nevada. My aspirations are to become a scientist and contribute to technical advancements, through research and new discoveries, for the greater collective sum of scientific knowledge and human ingenuity. I seek to study engineering, with strong interests in nuclear or computer engineering. I have ambitions to extend my education through graduate school, before settling into a career. I want to become an innovator creating and developing technology that would further our knowledge of science and the world around. I want to contribute to making the world a greater place to live in: safer, more comfortable, and more sophisticated.
