Throughout high school, I have consistently challenged myself by pursuing opportunities in academics, technology, leadership, and business.

Beginning in my freshman year, I started studying coding, a skill I have continued to develop for three years through my junior year. This experience strengthened my problem-solving abilities and sparked my interest in technology and innovation.

During my sophomore year, I co-founded my school’s Vinyl Club with a group of friends and have proudly served as one of its officers throughout my sophomore and junior years. Through this leadership role, I have helped build a welcoming community centered around music appreciation, collaboration, and student engagement.

In my junior year, I expanded my technical skills by studying Adobe Photoshop and 3D programming, gaining experience in both digital design and creative technology. During the summer following my junior year, I attended the University of Houston’s Stay on Campus Accounting Camp, where I networked with professionals from leading accounting firms, including KPMG and PwC, and gained valuable insight into careers in accounting and business. My team won the camp’s week-long business pitch competition after creating an original business concept, developing a professional website for our company, and presenting our idea to a panel of judges. Inspired by this experience, I began applying the knowledge I gained by starting my own businesses and developing my entrepreneurial skills.

As I enter my senior year, I am committed to becoming more involved in volunteering and giving back to my community while continuing to grow as both a leader and an entrepreneur. Academically, I will challenge myself through AP Physics, AP Calculus BC, and two Architectural Engineering courses, continuing to build the strong foundation needed to pursue a future in architecture, business, and innovation.
