I am a senior at Menlo High School with strong interests in English, history, and art history. My passion lies in advocating for youth mental health, demonstrated through my involvement with the San Mateo Behavioral Health Youth Action Board and Menlo Voices for Hope, where I helped organize a mental health benefit concert and managed its social media.
I am honored to be a recipient of the $4,000 HAND Research Fellowship, funding my on-site research in India on farmer wellness and sustainable agriculture policy. This experience has deepened my understanding of global issues and research.
At Menlo School, I am the Varsity Golf Captain, lead the Mental Health @ Menlo Club, and work as a Writing Peer Tutor and School Ambassador. These roles have allowed me to develop leadership skills and advocate effectively for mental health initiatives within my school and community.
I am eager to continue my academic and advocacy work, making a meaningful impact both locally and globally.
