BIO

I am a motivated 12th grade student with a passion for technology, education, and personal growth. In 2023 and 2022, I had the opportunity to work with SYEP, a summer employment program for students, where I gained valuable professional experience and developed important workplace skills. Additionally, I participated in the Girls Who Code summer program, where I learned how to create video games using JavaScript, deepening my understanding of coding and expanding my technical abilities. Currently, I work as a kindergarten tutor, where I have the rewarding responsibility of helping young children develop foundational skills. These experiences have shaped me into a proactive, adaptable, and collaborative individual with a strong commitment to personal and professional growth.
