Bio

Hey! I am Yazsin, a high school sophomore from Tennessee who requires funding to pursue an associate's degree in mathematics before graduating high school. With a 4.6 weighted GPA, I aim to major in computer science to become a professional game developer, blending programming skills and creativity to create immersive experiences. 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. I possess strong proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, having become the youngest student statewide to attain 20 certifications in one school semester, ranging from PowerPoint 2019 to Access Expert 2016. 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. Currently, 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.
