President
This been my second time participating in the iGem competition I am a 17-year-old student in fifth semester of junior high. Having the Japanese and Mexican Nationalities is what makes me unique. I am as an Asian has to be “naturally” (such a stereotype -_-) interested in science and technology, but besides that I am a really open minded and a happy person. That’s why I have the best of both sides of Mexico and Japan. I was really interested in the competition because I could learn more about a topic that I am passionate about and to experience such an international and intercultural event will make my world bigger than the really one. This year been the president of the team gave me an irreplaceable opportunity which opened my eyes and realize how difficult is to accomplish something, but not impossible.

Design
I am 17 years old. I'm from Mexico City. I am currently in fifth semester of junior high at Tecnológico de Monterrey CCM. I've always been interested in issues directly related to design, image view and manual techniques. I have participated in my school groups contributing to the area of design and display, as well as in projects and logo contests and images of representation.I'm in GenetiX, first because I love to contribute to the group with what I know related to design, also because I want to relate that, with the rest of the group to form a complete team and we'll structured in each of their areas. As well as learn not only in the areas in which each of ones are involved, I mean to learn as much chemistry, marketing, programming, research and very important area, where you involve human resources in which you involve values and the human practice within each of us with the help of all the members of our team.I like iGEM because it is a foundation that promotes beyond coexistence with our own equipment, to give everything to be the best, promotes the relationship between more teams involved in iGEM with the support of a feedback and learning by what you acquire here. Likewise iGEM urges teens to have a deep knowledge in science with the help of many other areas that complement each of the teams.
