Before her senior year, Avari attended an engineering program at Cal Berkeley, where she realized her unique dyslexic strengths. While her peers struggled to conceptualize a prototype, a 3D model formed effortlessly in her mind, but explaining it felt like describing color to someone who had never seen it. Using movement, she helped her classmates visualize the idea, leading to a successful design. For years, undiagnosed dyslexia made her feel broken and isolated, struggling to show her true abilities without accommodations. At sixteen, after months of self-advocacy, she finally received a diagnosis that validated her experiences and allowed her to embrace her differences. Now pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering with a minor in business, she plans to earn a master’s in prosthetics engineering and launch a company that creates personalized prosthetics, empowering individuals with limb differences to achieve their dreams.
