Bio

I am a high-achieving high school senior with a 4.66 GPA and a strong passion for STEM, particularly chemistry and healthcare. Through a year-long independent research project, I designed and conducted a study on C. elegans lifespan, gaining hands-on experience in lab techniques, data analysis, and scientific research. Beyond the classroom, I have applied my skills through tutoring underserved elementary students through my local library district, supporting AP Chemistry students as a teacher’s aide, and participating in programs focused on emergency medicine, mental health, and forensic science. My involvement in robotics, environmental volunteering, and community leadership has strengthened my teamwork, problem-solving, and commitment to service. As a hardworking and intellectually curious student, I am dedicated to using science to make a meaningful impact in healthcare and my community.
