What was your favorite Stanford OHS course and why?
Advanced Topics in Biological Research
What is your favorite/best Stanford OHS memory?
Almost all my memories at Stanford OHS are my favorite but my best memories are when I met so many amazing friends at Summer at Stanford! Particularly the first time I walked into the hallway of the dorms and before saying hi, my roommate that year, Chloe immediately hugged me!! It was an instant friendship and I'm so lucky to have her and so many other amazing OHSers in my life.
What are some accomplishments you are most proud of?
Writing my first research paper that I started in Advanced Topics in Biological Research and later finished in my senior year! Not quitting any of my extracurriculars in high school. Helping create the PIXELATE! Keeping my 11 plants alive throughout high school.
Who is the person you most admire?
My dad who has been there for me every day since day one!
What advice do you wish you could known at the start of your Stanford OHS journey?
Don't be afraid to be yourself and start things that you would love to do. Ideas are no good unless you act upon them.
