Throughout my academic journey, I've balanced a competitive spirit with a genuine love for learning and collaboration. I strive to bring creativity into everything I do, always aiming to offer a fresh perspective. One of my proudest academic achievements is earning admission to the top-ranked high school in the nation, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ), a goal I worked tirelessly to reach. During my time at TJ, I've earned recognition in several areas - from placing first in engineering class competitions to producing top-ranking projects. I've also excelled in class-specific activities, consistently performing in the highest divisions. Beyond academics, I've been an active member of the Cancer Research Society during my junior year and plan to join the Writing Center Club to support others in improving their writing. With a 3.9 GPA across rigorous classes, I take pride in the dedication and effort I bring to both my studies and my community.
