About
I am a 12-grade student on the Chinese track at DC International School and I am currently working towards the IB Diploma for my last two years of high school. At school, I am involved in Project LIT Leaders and our high school theatre program. I am also a tutor for the DCI Writing Center.
Outside of school, I am a Program Manager for Capitol City Robotics. As Program Manager, I manage our First Lego League programs. I am also working for Leadership Initiatives over the summer on the Georgetown Campus. As a team lead, I am there to mentor my group of interns through their workshop and/or presentation.
Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, binge-watching shows, and taking flying trapeze lessons!

MYP Personal Project

For my Personal Project, I created a website to help the teachers at my school, DCI, learn more about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and the ways that AAPI inclusion could enhance our curriculum. For instance, I included lesson plans about AAPI history, recommended young adult and teen books, and suggestions for incorporating AAPI figures into the curriculum.
