Bio

I am a recent graduate of Making Waves Academy with a strong interest in pursuing a career in education. I am especially drawn to elementary education because I enjoy helping students build confidence and develop strong foundations across subjects. In addition to my interest in education, I was highly involved in leadership on campus throughout high school. I founded and served as President of Marlin Theater Production, acted as Vice President of KIWIN’S, and participated in multiple academic and service organizations. This fall, I will attend the University of California San Diego with my major being Education Sciences. My goal is to become a teacher who creates inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environments where every student feels valued and encouraged to succeed!
