I am a funded futures trader with Topstep Proprietary Trading, currently managing three accounts using ICT concepts. I analyze market structure, liquidity, and key price levels to develop and execute disciplined trading strategies while managing risk. This experience has strengthened my analytical thinking, patience, and decision-making under pressure, while giving me hands-on exposure to professional trading practices.

I worked at Siesta Poke & Boba Tea, where I provided excellent customer service by taking orders, preparing food and drinks, and ensuring a welcoming environment for all customers. I managed multiple tasks efficiently during busy hours, maintained cleanliness and organization in the workspace, and collaborated with team members to meet daily operational goals. This role helped me develop strong communication, time management, and teamwork skills while learning how to work effectively in a fast-paced setting.

I founded and lead the Wellness Club at my high school to promote healthy habits, nutrition, fitness, and overall well-being among students. I organize events, workshops, and activities that educate peers on topics such as exercise, mental health, and healthy eating, while fostering a supportive community. Through this role, I have developed leadership, event planning, and communication skills, and have been able to make a positive impact on the school community by encouraging students to prioritize their health and wellness.

As a volunteer with the Salvation Army, I helped package and distribute food and essential supplies to individuals and families in need. I also assisted in organizing backpacks and school supplies for children and supported logistics by loading and unloading items for community distribution events. Through this experience, I developed strong teamwork and organizational skills while contributing to my community and supporting people in meaningful ways.
