I continued my education at Palo Alto Middle College, where I completed my senior year as a dual-enrollment student, taking both high school and college-level courses. During this time, I pursued EMS50 – Emergency Medical Response, driven by my passion for helping others, and Math 1A – Calculus, reflecting my continued enthusiasm for mathematics.

My Middle College experience not only broadened my academic horizons but also gave me the opportunity to develop independence, discipline, and a strong foundation for future studies.

I attended Palo Alto High School from 2022 to 2025, where I was actively involved in the school’s marching band as a trumpet player and contributed to the theater program as part of the stage tech team. Within stage tech, I was especially dedicated to the build team, where I enjoyed working hands-on with power tools, building sets, and bringing productions to life.

Beyond the arts, I also had a strong interest in academics, particularly mathematics, having completed Algebra I during middle school. My time at Palo Alto High School provided me with opportunities to grow creatively, technically, and academically, while also shaping my teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Looking to expand my academic opportunities, I chose to transition to Middle College, where I could challenge myself in a college-level environment while continuing to pursue my personal and creative interests. This shift has allowed me to further develop both my independence and my passion for learning.
