About

I am a very dedicated student. During high school, and now university, I made sure to keep my studies at my top priority, all while maintaining 2 extracurricular activities, a part-time job, and being the full-time babysitter for my four younger siblings. As an immigrant from a less developed country, I knew what it was like to not have much and when my family decided to move to the United States, I knew I had to do everything in my power to be successful now that I had the resources I needed.
