💡 Did You Know?

During my high school years, my dedication to problem-solving led to me becoming the sole student chosen from over 10 STEM schools to collaborate directly with the national STEM Unit, fundamentally redesigning the Capstone research system for future generations of students. This experience deeply shaped my approach to impactful system design.

Leadership & Impact

Proactively creating value beyond academics by mentoring peers, improving curricula on a national level, and leading community-focused initiatives.

Architect of Curricular Improvement

Sole Student Chosen from over 10 STEM Schools

As the sole student chosen from over 10 STEM schools, I collaborated with the national STEM Unit to significantly modify the Capstone research system. This involved enhancing teacher guidebooks, standardizing project challenges, developing feedback systems, and improving evaluation criteria, leaving a tangible, lasting mark on the national curriculum.
