Tanisha Gurmel

Proactive and community-focused. Think with a Guru is a platform used to reach out to others and touch the lives of many. Volunteering in a Christian based community felt like home where I could interact with so many people around the world. On select Sundays our team helped host breakfast to the elderly bringing a smile to that community. Being able to communicate with others feels like a reward itself, allowing me to learn and grow everyday.

I graduated high school this year (2024) with a 3.8 unweighted GPA. All my classes were on an advanced level (Honors and APs), allowing me to challenge myself and get used to working efficiently on a college level. I did show choir on the side during my last two years of high school allowing me to be Cypress High School's Show Choir's Vice President for two years. While being a Vice president I obtained the Leadership award for both years, an award given to those to possess unwavering strength, compassion and kindness, allowing others to depend on them on times of need. I'm excited to start a new chapter in my journey in college, majoring in Political Science, in hopes to be a lawyer in the future.

I aim to work effectively, efficiently, and flexibly! Being able to work rigorously is something I have gotten used to, anything someone throws my way is a challenge I never dare to step down from.
