As the President of the Model United Nations (MUN), I honed leadership skills by facilitating diplomatic discussions and guiding fellow members. The experience enhanced my public speaking and negotiation abilities, fostering a deep understanding of global affairs. Serving as MUN President not only broadened my worldview but also instilled a sense of responsibility and teamwork, offering invaluable lessons in diplomacy and international relations.

As the Class President from 6th to 12th grade, I developed strong organizational and communication skills through coordinating class events and representing student interests. The role heightened my sense of responsibility and improved my ability to collaborate with diverse groups, fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment. Serving as Class President not only allowed me to positively impact my peers but also provided a platform to cultivate leadership qualities that extend beyond the classroom.

Successfully completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) program showcased my dedication to academic excellence and disciplined work ethic. The rigorous curriculum not only deepened my understanding of various subjects but also equipped me with critical thinking and research skills essential for higher education. The IB experience has opened doors to global universities, emphasizing holistic development and preparing me for the challenges of higher learning and diverse career paths.

Attaining the Brevet (french national exam) in 9th grade exemplified my early academic prowess and commitment to educational achievements. This accomplishment not only accelerated my academic journey but also instilled confidence in my ability to excel in more advanced coursework. The Brevet provided a solid foundation for future academic endeavors, offering opportunities for advanced placement and setting a positive trajectory for my educational and professional aspirations.

I’m currently 18 years old, I’m in college right now, but I’m looking for a job!  I am attending Pasadena City College while majoring in Biology. I plan on transferring in the next year or so to either UCLA, UCI, or USC, in order to complete my pre-med degree, and eventually enter medical school to become a plastic surgeon. To get to know me a bit better beyond just an academic and professional setting, I am a person who enjoys skiing, and sculpting, I’m very big on creativity and DIY projects. In general, I’m a very social person I enjoy meeting new people and going out with my friends, and I love being around people!
