I am currently a senior at Burbank High School, with plans to apply as a first-year student in 2025. Alongside my high school education, I’ve also taken college courses at Los Angeles Valley College and Los Angeles Mission College to deepen my academic experience.
Throughout my academic journey, I have been recognized for my accomplishments and dedication. I received a Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program for my performance on the PSAT. I am proud to be a National Cyber Scholarship Foundation Scholar with Honors, having received the CyberStart Silver & Bronze Awards. In mathematics, I earned 2nd place in the U.S. and 2nd place in California in the Math Kangaroo Competition, which included over 6 million participants worldwide. I am also an AP Scholar with Distinction and a California Scholarship Federation Gold Seal Bearer, where I serve as a volunteer tutor and club leader.
At Burbank High School, I take on leadership roles as the Chairwoman of the Coding Club and the President and Founder of the Digital Electronics Club. In addition to my academic and leadership activities, I am an active member of the Burbank High School Chamber Orchestra, where we received a Gold Rank at the San Diego Heritage Music Festival, and I’ve had the honor of performing alongside professional musicians.
Outside of school, I am deeply involved in cybersecurity and technology. I serve as an Advisory Board Member for the Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) and have completed an internship as a Future Ready Engineer at RTX (Raytheon). During this internship, I worked with industry professionals on solutions for space communications and developed a working model as part of my research. Additionally, I’m a Technician Class HAM Radio Operator with the call sign KO6FIE, and I’ve interned at the Housing and Grants Department for the City of Burbank’s Community Development.
In my free time, I enjoy volunteering at the Burbank Public Libraries as a Teen Library Volunteer and participating in other community service activities.
