Yeidi Yuja Vaquiz

University of Rochester

I am an international student majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Medical Optics. I am very passionate about sustainability and hope to create more sustainable systems within the medical field and beyond. Having an interest in our relationship with food and self-sufficiency, I try to implement elements of permaculture into my lifestyle. In my free time, I volunteer at a community garden in my neighborhood and hope to start my own garden soon!
