About

I am a high school senior passionate about science research, environmental studies, and field biology, with a particular focus on understanding how the climate crisis is reshaping ecosystems and animal populations worldwide. Beyond the classroom, I bring diverse experiences that have sharpened my curiosity and leadership: as a Model UN delegate, I’ve navigated crisis negotiations and honed my skills in diplomacy and problem-solving; as a theater performer, I’ve learned the power of voice, presence, and collaboration; as a percussionist and Ultimate Frisbee athlete, I’ve embraced discipline, teamwork, and creativity. At my core, I am driven by curiosity, committed to collaboration, and motivated by a lifelong dedication to learning and making a meaningful impact.
