Founder and Testimonials

Learn more about our Founder: Dr. Minna Allarakhia

Dr. Minna Allarakhia is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brown University. She is the founder of BioEndeavor seeking to inspire students to find their purpose and passion through STEAM for GOOD. Her training is in biological and medical sciences including health innovation, patient engagement for cancer health including as a patient family advisor, virtual patient care, and climate health. 

Testimonials: 

I can't remember the last time I felt so calm and composed regarding post-secondary education before being mentored by Minna. She is meticulous, resourceful, and very intelligent. She has helped me navigate my career pathway and introduced me to a variety of academic opportunities. Without her guidance, the process would be immensely difficult and far more tedious, luckily her programs and services shed light on the core roots of education which are imagination and creativity. If there is anybody to look up to, Minna is a smart choice.

I have been working with Dr. Allarakhia since grade 11. She has helped me pave out my life by helping me find out what I really love.  I have had so many internship opportunities, such as a UCSD summer course which enabled me to get an idea of what my field choice would be like. I am currently writing a paper, with Dr. Allarakhia’s guidance and help, in order to reach out to professors and start my journey. It is all thanks to Dr. Allarakhia that I am doing so successfully in my studies. Definitely recommend.
