I am a student in the class of 2025 at the Harker Upper School. My academic interest is in Applied Computer Science. Since middle school, I have enjoyed working on many programming projects. I have created a product of my own, PetBit, to apply my programming skills to help our pets.

 

As I started working on PetBit, I realized some key business aspects are critical to making a product successful. To learn more, I decided to pursue DECA in high school. PetBit won first place at the state level in the startup business category.

 

Leading through student-led organizations at school has been motivating and fulfilling since elementary school. DECA is the most prominent student-led organization at Harker, with about 200 student members. I joined the Harker DECA officer team in my Sophomore year as a Director of Competitions and am now looking to serve as a CEO in my Senior year. This year, I also serve as a President of Harker's BEcon conference.

​

I also like dancing in my spare time. I have learned multiple dance styles for the last 12 years, with Tap being my favorite style. After doing competitive dance for five years, I now participate in every performing opportunity at school, lead a Tap club, and volunteer to teach dance to kids and adults with special needs.
