Sherika Gordon
Pre-junior at Drexel University
Major: Biomedical Engineering, with a concentration in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
Her goals are to achieve the highest education available and to be a successful cardiologist or neurologist. She began training for this mission since she was a child, by volunteering to visit the pharmacy with her dad to gather a lot of knowledge about science. She was influenced by her admiration for the scientists who made great advances for science or for the lives of human beings; she wanted to do something along those lines. Her passion for studying biomedical sciences will help her to not only be successful, but also to make a tremendous impact on peoples’ lives.

Josue Manjarrez
Pre-junior at Drexel University
Major: Biomedical Engineering, with a concentration in Biomechanics and Human Performance
Minor: Product Design
While in high school, art, physics, and mathematics were passions of Josue's so he decided to pursue that once he attended Drexel. During his free time, he likes to hang out with friends, go to the beach, help the needy and train for obstacle races such as Tough Mudder and Warrior Dash. Josue is self-motivated and knows that his capabilities and personality will allow him to pursue his aspirations. He is a hard worker who has seen the personal sacrifices it takes to be successful because of his hard-working family whose work has allowed him to pursue his own dreams.
