Life’s challenges often feel like intricate equations—complex, layered, and waiting to be solved. I’m drawn to these challenges, whether they appear in mathematical structures or in the behaviors and motivations that shape human experience. While still in high school, I am completing Associate degrees in Psychology and Mathematics, a path that reflects my belief that understanding people is as important as understanding the systems around them. Studying topics like cognitive processes, statistics, and advanced math has taught me to think with both precision and empathy. I’ve learned to approach problems by looking at patterns, questioning assumptions, and considering not just the answer, but the reasoning behind it. My goal is to use this blend of analytical and psychological insight to contribute to research that truly improves lives—whether through modeling human decision-making, exploring mental health data, or studying how people learn and adapt. I bring meticulous attention, creativity, and a genuine curiosity for complex ideas. I would be honored to bring this perspective at school and in my personal life, using scholarship funds to support this goal. I’m eager to take on challenging projects, grow as a researcher, and contribute meaningfully to work that expands what we understand about people, systems, and the possibilities that connect them.
