Bio

Hello, I am Macy, a current senior in high school. My dream is to attend a university with a world class Engineering program and also study Business so that I can create solutions that address pressing issues in healthcare, education, and beyond. I am passionate about Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, and Business. As a female in STEM, a typically male-dominated field, I have overcome barriers by outstanding performance at school, Coding Hackathons, Research at 2 universities, and teaching Java coding. I advocate for STEM fields in young people through my job at Code Ninjas, and while serving on the Teen Board for a non-profit STEM after-school program. I also promote STEM education in my leadership roles such as my school's Ambassador for Math and Computer Science, and middle school volleyball coach. I am highly motivated and achieve all A grades in the most rigorous curriculum of AP and Honors classes offered at my school, including Multi-Variable Calculus, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Computer Science. I have won many class awards for academic excellence. I have volunteered extensively in my community, and worked to save money for college. I strive to improve human development through advancing technology and plan to be an expert technologist and impactful business leader. I apply for scholarships because my family is experiencing challenges with my brother and grandmother battling cancer, and I plan to remain focused on attending college as financially independent as possible. Thank you, Macy

Learner Math Lover Scholarship
Math has always been a subject that sparks joy and curiosity within me. I love how math challenges me to think critically, solve problems creatively, and uncover patterns hidden in the world around us. I enjoy participating in various math competitions, including traveling twice to the University of Oklahoma Math Day, where I was thrilled to advance to the final round. These experiences have not only sharpened my problem-solving skills but also deepened my appreciation for the collaborative and competitive aspects of mathematics. Beyond competitions, I find immense satisfaction in sharing my love for math with others. As a member of the Mu Alpha Theta math honor society, I have had the privilege of tutoring my peers at school. One of my favorite moments is seeing the light in someone’s eyes when they finally understand a concept I’ve explained. I am especially passionate about encouraging other girls to embrace math and build their confidence in a field where women are often underrepresented. Through my role as a school ambassador for the math and computer science departments, I actively encourage prospective students and younger classmates to enroll in the more challenging math courses our school offers, helping them realize their potential. My own journey in math has not been without challenges. Taking AP Calculus BC and Multivariable Calculus in high school initially seemed intimidating, but these courses taught me to overcome fear and self-doubt. They pushed me to think differently and explore complex mathematical concepts that I never thought I could master. I have gained confidence not only in my abilities but also in my capacity to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of difficult math. I love discovering how these advanced concepts apply to real-life scenarios, such as optimization in manufacturing and other industries. My passion for math has also opened the door to the world of computer science. Coding allows me to apply analytical reasoning and logic to develop technological solutions for real-world problems. It also taps into my creative side, enabling me to express myself in ways I never imagined. I teach coding at Code Ninjas and at Wesley Rankin Community Center where I especially love empowering young women to embrace math. I have transformed from a shy student into a confident leader. I plan to attend college, earning degrees in computer science and math to become an expert technologist or engineer, and drive meaningful change in our world.
