I read books daily.
I am from a Caribbean background, specifically Trinidad and Tobago. Growing up, I lived in a neighborhood with primarily Caribbean immigrants, which allowed me to experience a lifestyle that was very similar to that of my ancestors. Education was highly valued in my family, and my parents instilled this same value in me from a young age. In addition, the importance of community was also emphasized, which is a significant aspect of Trinidadian culture. We always set aside time to socialize with our neighbors, often playing cards and enjoying Soca or Chutney music, both of which have their roots in Trinidad. I am currently pursuing a major in computer science and engineering due to my interest in electronics and mechanics, which was sparked by a class I took in high school. I was able to use Arduino technology to build a Self-Leveling Glove with a tilt-ball sensor and LEDs to help artists draw straight lines. I hope to continue developing this prototype and creating innovative designs with the help of a strong academic program. In my free time, I enjoy video editing. I have been creating Anime Music Videos since middle school, using clips from various shows and synchronizing them with my preferred music to create original works of art. This hobby requires a lot of time and effort, but I find it to be enjoyable and calming. As a lab assistant for Queens Public Library, I also had the opportunity to work with people from various ages, sexual orientations, and ethnic backgrounds, which has allowed me to develop a strong sense of community and a desire to help others.
