Summary

I am a dynamic and passionate leader with experience in event organization and team building. Proven ability to enhance student engagement through creative projects and effective communication. As a high school student who immerses herself in extracurriculars and leadership opportunities, I strive to obtain the same enrichment outside of school. Inside school, I immerse myself in the performing arts through acting classes, choir, plays and musical productions.
