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 college, I consistently make 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 Phi Theta Kappa International Vice President for Division II. I'm also a member of the Student Government Association (SGA), Book Club, Art Club, International Circle Club, and a prospective Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). My high-school accolades: Top 1% in HS Grad Class - Over 4.0 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 visually stimulating designs, often seen in video games and other story-driven digital media. Eventually, I'd like to lead an organization that develops design technology that makes education more accessible and advocates 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!
