Bio

Hello! I am a senior at Van Nuys High School’s Medical Magnet with a strong passion for patient care, advocacy, and leadership. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and lifeguard, I am dedicated to ensuring safety, upholding dignity, and providing holistic care in every aspect of my work. I am also the Battalion Commander of my JROTC unit as well as Battalion Staff for my whole JROTC District. I am also the founder of AutiVerse Academy, an academic support platform designed to empower autistic students through personalized tutoring and advocacy. I am deeply committed to increasing accessibility in healthcare, education, and community support to foster a more inclusive and equitable world.
