Bio

๏ฝกโ˜†โ˜… ๐‚๐š๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐ƒ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ฅ โ˜…โ˜†๏ฝก Welcome one, welcome all to my profile! There are many subjects I'm passionate about but my main interests are comp. science, business, education, and art. At my college, I'm frequently on the President's and Dean's List. I'm an Honors Program student, selected as a Martin Luther King JR. Scholar, State Farm Scholar, and am currently the Vice President of Leadership within the Xi Pi Chapter of PTK. I'm also a member of the Student Government Association (SGA), Book Club, Art Club, International Circle Club, and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Some of my high-school accomplishments were: Top 1% in HS Grad Class - 4.3 WGPA Graduated Highest Honors with Distinction, AP & Dual Enrollment, Student Govt. Co-President, Presidential Scholar Awardee I believe education is an often-underutilized power that can shape the world for better (or for worse). Which is why we need to discuss education in a way that's positive, empowering, and exciting. That's why I'm pursuing a career that allows me to combine my interests! I love visual stimulating designs, often seen in video games and other story-driven, digital media. Eventually, I'd like to start a business that develops design technology tools which make education more accessible and advocate for a deeper understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). I want to create an educated future, because that is a BRIGHT future. Considering me as a recipient, gets me one step closer to making that dream a reality. Thank you for viewing my profile!
