Summary

Student leader with a strong focus on academics and community service. As President of the Interact Club and Editor-in-Chief of my school's yearbook, I've developed leadership, team management, and project coordination skills. With a 4.2 GPA and an interest in business, I balance rigorous academics with hands-on roles in customer service at Publix. My volunteer work, including fundraising $65,000 for pediatric cancer research, reflects my commitment to giving back. I'm passionate about making a positive impact and continuing to grow as a leader and problem solver.
