About
me!
Currently I’m studying mechanical engineering at UCSD. My senior class in high school voted me most likely to become the next Elon Musk. Although I hold the characteristics of being a nerd, I do not define myself as one being that I am a two time MVP for my high school’s water polo team. I mostly contribute my identity to my strong family connection and association with the Christian faith. Supportive parents have provided the initial spark that has with personal dedication rocketed me into who I am today.
