Objective
Facilitate representation of girls and minorities in STEM.
About Me
I am a driven student at Girls Academic Leadership Academy, the first all-girls public school in California. My creativity and determination have led me to excel in academics, sports, clubs, organizations, and hospitals. My talent stems from my love for learning, which I want to further through internship and research oppurtunities.
Achievements
Excellence
I challenge and thrive in rigourous courses. I have taken 5 AP clases, and scored very well on all AP exams including AP Chemistry, AP Spanish, and AP Computer Science to pursue my passions in Neuroscience and Latina Empowerment.
Advocacy
My love for helping others and art has inspired me to create a program to tutor Latina girls in STEAM, found a club called Charity Through Art, and volunteer on the Neuro Floor at Cedars Sinai Hospital.
Leadership
I am a trailblazer in my school, Latinx, Jewish, and hospital communities by being Junior Class President, a pioneer in the first cohort of the 501(C)(3) nonprofit, PineApple Women, and past learning board member of the UCLA Johnsoon Cancer Center.
