Academics

I started training for math competitions in primary school. I study on my own and meet with a coach regularly. What I enjoy about math is that a problem can have more than one way in: first I sort out what I know, then I try a path, and if I get stuck, I look at it from another angle. I ranked in the top 1% nationally in the 2024 AMC 8 and in the top 5% in the 2026 AMC 10. I think of those results as snapshots along the way, and they’ve encouraged me to keep taking on harder problems.
