About

I am a hardworking, resilient, and compassionate student with a strong interest in marine biology and environmental research. Despite challenges related to Autism, ADHD, and mild cerebral palsy, I have grown into a confident young adult with a 3.4 GPA, strong communication skills, and leadership experience as Captain of the Varsity eSports team. I am a Taekwondo black belt, I enjoy mentoring others, and I hope to pursue a career focused on marine life research and conservation.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to pursue a career in marine biology and wildlife conservation, with a focus on marine research, environmental protection, discovering and studying marine life, and making the ocean a safer living environment for all of the life in it.

Graduate school interests

I hope to pursue advanced studies in marine biology and environmental research, with interests in ocean conservation, marine wildlife, and the discovery and protection of marine species.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy taekwondo and have spent eight years working towards earning a black belt. My goal was achieved in November 2025, where I had the honor of showcasing what I had studied and trained for in taekwondo. I earned my black belt!

I also enjoy learning about the ocean and its inhabitants.
