Summary

I am a senior in Santa Monica High School. I have lived in Santa Monica my whole life, and have always been eager to get out, explore, find new things, and understand the world around me. I am not one to shy away from a challenge and always take opportunities when they are presented to me. I love to work with my hands, and have always been eager to study in the mechanical engineering field. I am very focused on working on cars, and learning about their functions, and how to improve them and repair them. Overall, experiencing new things, and working with my hands are very important to me.
