Additional Information

I actively participated in a my school's drama society, dedicating my time as a lighting and sound technician. In addition, I played a role in orchestrating one of the plays, engaging in tasks such as distributing flyers and promoting the event across multiple platforms. Embracing the opportunity, I thrived in managing the demands of a high-pressure setting.


During the summer of 2018, I volunteered at a school catering to deaf children for a month. This experience not only allowed me to immerse myself in learning American Sign Language (ASL), but also provided me with the chance to assume the role of a class teacher. Responsible for approximately 20 students, aged 7 to 10, I imparted lessons in English, Math, and Science.
