As a homeschooled student I have always had the freedom to pursue my passions. The ability to follow what I thought was interesting helped me develop a deep love for learning. I have enjoyed the freedom to choose what I wanted to learn, along with how I wanted to learn it. Homeschooling has given me the ability to become more detail oriented and organized, and to learn what my daily flow is as a person. In order to become more prepared for college, I enrolled in the Laurel Springs Academy before my sophomore year of high school. Within this high school, I have the ability to work with, and learn from, smart, like-minded individuals.

Beta Camp Entrepreneur Program: In the spring of 2023 I was selected for Beta Camp, a 3-month virtual Entrepreneurship and Business program for teens. Beta Camp gave me hands-on experience building a business from the ground up. I talked four of my friends from Puerto Rico into joining me, and together we built Modern Patch, a company that developed adhesive tape for diabetic supplies, aimed at the Gen Z audience with Insulin Dependent Diabetes. We developed a prototype, pitched to real investors, and ended up winning the Best Teamwork award.
