I am a student at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science ( TAMS). I am passionate about public health, science and technology and education. I believe that I can be a pioneer for change by living the lifestyles that I advocate for.
MY MISSION
My mission is to be academically successful and promote youth wellness through research and by educating my community about making healthy choices in diet, exercise and sleep.
I believe that learning and serving should come full circle, and I try to model that in everything I do.
