I am a high school student deeply passionate about the environment and our planet. My goal is to pursue a BBA and MBA in sustainability management. Currently, I'm enrolled in the challenging yet rewarding International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Every day, I strive to make a positive impact, whether it’s offering compliments, picking up litter, or lending a helping hand. As a volunteer youth coach with the Englewood Sailing Association in Florida, I love sharing my passion for sailing with the next generation. I’m also actively involved in Sea Scouts. Music plays a significant role in my life; I play the violin in my school’s orchestra. On top of that, I participate in several after-school clubs, including Students for Sustainability, the Speech and Debate Club, the Marine Science Club, and the Travel Orchestra. All these experiences fuel my commitment to making the world a better place. Having lived overseas and moved frequently throughout my life, I have gained a broad perspective on the world. My time in Thailand and the United Arab Emirates has exposed me to the richness of diverse cultures. I am incredibly grateful for these experiences, although they posed challenges in maintaining my education and staying motivated. Each time I relocated, I had to make new friends, adapt to a different language, and navigate new curricula. Another hurdle I faced when returning to the United States was feeling like an outsider due to the mannerisms I picked up during my time abroad.
