As a dedicated SADD member from Ohio, I founded the Cleveland School of Science and Medicine chapter to address destructive decisions among my peers and advocate for teenage wellness. Empowerment, my favorite SADD Power Word, reflects my commitment to guiding youth toward healthier choices. To further this mission, I joined the Ohio Department of Health Teen Wellness Team, influencing policy changes and enhancing teenage health programs statewide. Complementing my aspirations to become a physician, I participate in the SEO/YES Research Program at Case Western Reserve University, conducting 300 hours of biomedical research throughout the summer. My hobbies include playing table tennis, through which I have won awards at both local and statewide levels, and practicing taekwondo, in which I hold a black belt.
