Imagine your warm home, spending cold nights all rugged up in front of the TV on the couch and nursing a hot cocoa. Now imagine on that same night, in your city, over one thousand are starving, feebly attempting to fight off the cold without even a roof over their heads. We were fortunate enough to experience […]
Fogarty Leadership Conference 2021
This leadership conference posed an opportunity for many of us to find ourselves as individuals. This wasn’t like any other leadership camp I’d ever been to. This was a camp run by individuals who had ranked in the top percentile of their cohort just last year. I believe I can speak on behalf of all […]

Badminton: A growth mindset
“I hate it! Why is it so hard? I’m never going to play again!” Those were my words after my first badminton game. I was a cranky sweaty exhausted six-year-old who had no eye & hand coordination. I don’t think I knew the aim was to try to get the shuttlecock over the net. It […]
Tech Girls
I am fortunate enough to have been able to participate in the TechGirls competition in 2017. I along with a group of friends created an app called the Healthy Emoji which encourages a healthy lifestyle from a young age. My team won state champions & we all will still consider it as an achievement in […]
