a rising junior at Design Tech High School
I care deeply about using science and technology to make healthcare better. I’m also involved in leadership and STEM activities as Co-President of Student Council, Conference Director for Design Tech Model UN, Co-Chair of Girls Who Code, and the Secretary on the City of Redwood City Teen Advisory Board. I’ve presented research at science fairs, presented and published a paper at an IEEE conference, and chaired committees in Model UN. On this website, you’ll be able to see my projects, accomplishments, and interests.
