Summary

I am an incoming freshman at UC Davis majoring in Aerospace Science and Engineering. I did my schooling across three different countries. I am a fast learner, and I am adaptable, as can be seen from my volunteering experiences. I can take on different roles and perform duties as required in that situation. I know MS Office, and Google Workspace. I have a positive attitude and am a continuous learner. I always look forward to contributing to any event or project.
