Young Artist Recognition:

Recognized youth musician by the San Mateo County Arts Commission, Peninsula Symphony, and Gooddler Foundation for participation in music programs.

Operation Catapult:

Selective program at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology to investigate various fields of engineering. I investigated mechanical/aerospace engineering specifically, designing airplane wings to test efficacy in a wind tunnel.

Try Engineering Camp:

Attended a summer camp at University of San Diego to introduce students to various fields of engineering: civil, electrical/computer, mechanical/aerospace, environmental.

Astrophysics Camp:

Stanford astrophysics camp to deeply explore the subject. I specifically chose black holes and researched them intensely, followed by a presentation.

UC Berkeley Engineering Camp:

Competitive application: intensive 8-week hybrid program designed to give 30 students STEM field college experience. Taught directly by Berkeley Mechanical Engineering professors. Learned and applied skills in CAD, CS, Design, and Electrical, directly to a final project.
