Summary

I am a high-achieving, goal-driven individual who thrives on collaboration and success. From serving as Student Body President to Publicity Chair of the BCC, I have learned essential real-world skills such as leadership, communication, and time management. Growing up with two immigrant parents instilled in me a strong work ethic and a relentless drive to achieve my goals. As a STEM major balancing academics, work, and leadership responsibilities, I have learned to manage challenges effectively while continuously growing in areas where I seek improvement. Overall, my charismatic kindness and warm smile are what stand out most about me. I always make myself available to those in need of guidance and provide direction if I am unable to assist directly. My friendly yet competitive nature drives me to strive for excellence in every endeavor, whether in academics, leadership, or personal growth.
