I am a curious reader, quick thinker, and enthusiastic communicator and am primarily interested in mathematics, economics, literature, and engineering. I pursue these interests through wide range of readings, advanced study in the Sigma Program, robotics and debate competitions, financial market research, and independent engineering projects. My experiences often combine my existing knowledge with actions. I led a four-student team to a Gold Award in the International Economics Olympiad Asia Round, served as a core team member for a nationally competitive robotics team, became a national champion in middle-school Public Forum debate, and received a Gold Award in an international art competition. I have also built myself a computer and taught myself 3D modeling, 3D printing, and AI-assisted programming. In high school, I hope to deepen these interests through advanced coursework, independent research, and close engagement with my teachers. I also want to hone my leadership style by taking greater responsibilities in collaborative projects, learning how to bring different strengths together.
