About
I am a highly motivated, enthusiastic, and curious high school student with a strong desire to learn and explore new things. I am fully bilingual in both English and Spanish, with a desire to learn German. I have a passion for sports, particularly soccer, cycling, and tennis, and actively participate in school tournaments in badminton and tennis.
I am an animal lover and am the proud owner of a dog. My interests lie in the medical field, where I have volunteered for over 160 hours in the surgical area at Edward Hospital. I have attended Dr. Rubens mini medical school, which has given me exposure to various medical fields as a high school student.
My strong skills in mathematics, physics, and computer programming make me highly skilled in engineering, but I also have an interest in the business side of things, which would enable me to apply my skills to connect best with consumers. I have a keen interest in reading books about real life and biographies.
I have traveled extensively, having visited 20 countries around the world.
Overall, I am a well-rounded, curious, and driven individual with a passion for learning, exploring, and making a positive impact on the world.
