Summary
Dynamic and organized professional with a strong background in research, public speaking, and leadership. As the President of Research Club, I conducted six months of research on muon flux, leading my team as the first author on both a presentation and poster, which I presented at AAPT. My experience in scientific research has strengthened my problem-solving skills and ability to analyze complex data for informed decision-making. Additionally, as a varsity speech competitor and active leader in various school organizations, I have honed my ability to communicate effectively, collaborate with diverse teams, and take on responsibilities that keep me engaged and accountable.
