WinnerBio
Incoming freshman at the University of Pennsylvania Huntsman Program pursuing a dual-degree B.S. in economics at the Wharton School of Business and a B.A. in International Studies at the College of Arts & Science.
Winner of two international economics competitions, president to three clubs, and founder to an initiative that has reached over 10,000+ individuals, I have grown as both a leader and teammate in the process. My commitment to advocacy and community impact is at the core of my work. I played a key role in advocating for the passage of Assembly Bill 2927, ensuring that financial literacy education is integrated into California high schools.
I am a versatile individual with a strong affinity for taking on new challenges in fast-paced environments. I approach and recognize different sets of problems as opportunities to embrace strategic thinking and develop new skills.
