Bio

I'm Evalyn, a multilingual and STEM-based student. I have a deep passion for science, plants, and feeding people. I have spent the last three years volunteering at Rise Up Community Farm, a local non-profit farm growing fresh produce for our food pantry. I am a first-year Biological Engineering undergraduate student at North Carolina State University. I hope to pursue a career where I will use engineering to solve large global challenges involving hunger and famine. ——— > HS HIGHLIGHTS: • 4.7 GPA • Top 2% of Graduating Class (Ranked 9th of 478 Students) • Two Sport Athlete – Team Captain • National Honors Society • Multilingual: English (native), Mandarin Chinese, and French • World Language National Honors Society • International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma • AP Scholar • STEM focused • Engineering Job Shadow • Active Community Volunteer
