Awards & Recognition
Hard work and curiosity have always been at the center of my academic journey.
During my freshman year, I was awarded the Haerther Scholarship from the Daniel P. Haerther Charitable Trust. This scholarship, which covers half of my tuition, is awarded to promising students in the Chicago area who attend private high schools. It gave me a sense of purpose early on and motivated me to make the most of my education.
During my sophomore year, I was inducted into the National Honor Society, the earliest someone could be selected in our chapter. I have also consistently earned First and High Honors, reflecting a strong work ethic and a commitment to maintaining top academic performance across all of my classes.
Beyond academics, I was honored to receive the Emerging Designer Award in the Arts during my sophomore year. This recognition encouraged me to embrace creativity as an important part of how I approach learning and problem-solving.
As a senior, I was named an Illinois State Scholar, an honor awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and rank among the top students in the state.
These experiences represent more than awards. They have taught me the importance of discipline, creativity, and perseverance, shaping the way I learn and engage with the world around me.
