SFES
Student President
In 2019, I had the honor of being elected as the student body president of the elementary school. As a fifth-grader, I successfully coordinated numerous events, but what truly stood out to me was the invaluable experience of managing the pressures and conflicts that come with being a young leader.

Student Ambassador
for New Students
As a Middle School Student Ambassador, I represented my school and assisted in creating a positive and welcoming environment for prospective and new students. I learned my communication and leadership skills, mentored new students, and collaborated with fellow ambassadors to improve the school community. This experience taught me valuable lessons in time-management and organization, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

My love for swimming, music, and theater is matched by my dedication to global compassion and academic excellence.
