High school senior at Brooklyn Technical H.S. · Aspiring healthcare professional · Leader, mentor, and community volunteer

About

I'm a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School with a 4.0 GPA and a strong interest in healthcare, education, and service. My experiences — from supporting pediatric patients in a hospital playroom to mentoring incoming freshmen and tutoring students one-on-one — have shaped the way I approach responsibility, learning, and care for others. I'm drawn to environments where I can combine academic rigor with real human impact.

Outside the classroom, I take on leadership roles that require organization, communication, and the ability to work with people of different ages and backgrounds. Whether I'm coordinating logistics for our Girls Varsity Tennis team, helping evaluate candidates for the National Honor Society, or leading activities at summer camp, I value teamwork, consistency, and showing up fully for the people who depend on me.

Authentic and inspiring!
