Hello! I am Yazsin, a high school sophomore from Tennessee whose goals include graduating high school with an associate's in mathematics. With a 4.6 weighted GPA, I aim to major in computer science to become a professional game developer, software engineer, and/or web developer. Outside the classroom, I am actively involved in the Technology Student Association (TSA), engaging in statewide and national STEM competitions. I have extensive experience in Python, and I am building my skills in C++ for VEX Robotics. Beyond STEM-related activities, I teach taekwondo classes as a second-degree black belt. I have taken over 7 years of piano lessons, which sparked my interest in music theory and digital composition. I am enrolled in Russian IV and have won gold medals in several Russian language Olympiads. I have since deepened my strong appreciation for the language and its rich culture. Finally, I am a part of JROTC, where I improve my physical abilities and leadership skills through volunteering and serving as captain of my cybersecurity team. As a low-income U.S. citizen, I commit to excellence, personal growth, and contributing to the future of technology through innovation and skill. I strive to stand out in STEM by maintaining academic excellence and engaging in impactful activities outside school.
