Alexandra Chu is a high school student from New York. She is the founder and executive director of MedCreate, a nonprofit organization that works to merge the worlds of medicine and creativity as well as foster a community of students who are enthusiastic about both science and the humanities. Traditionally, the sciences and the humanities have been thought to be completely different fields with nothing in common. Parents and the rest of society imposed an implicit expectation to choose between the two, so having interests in these seemingly disparate disciplines would generally raise a few eyebrows.

MedCreate is currently working to help dispel this belief through education, creative writing, and art.
