About Me

I am a Year 11 student with a deep-rooted passion for STEM and the Australian Defence Force. I strive to challenge myself through leadership roles, academic excellence, and active involvement in school and community initiatives. My dedication to science and technology is matched by a strong desire to contribute to projects that have real-world impact. I'm curious, adaptable, and always eager to learn from hands-on experience. I take pride in my ability to collaborate, solve problems creatively, and manage responsibilities independently and efficiently.

Experience & Projects

Work Experience at Swinburne University (2024)

During Year 10, I completed work experience at Swinburne University where I contributed to the development of engaging STEM activities for school students. I supported the planning and delivery of science and technology programs, refined my teamwork and communication skills, and worked with a variety of STEM tools and resources in an educational environment.

NASA International Space Apps Challenge (2020–2025)

I have participated in this global 48-hour hackathon five times, creating educational games and apps designed to solve real-world challenges. Two of my projects were globally nominated and two received the local People's Choice Award. This experience has nurtured my skills in creativity, coding, problem-solving, and teamwork under time pressure.

Leadership Roles (2021–2025)

I’ve held several leadership roles, including Class Captain (Year 8), Year Level Captain (Year 9), and SRC Executive for Publicity & Communication. In Year 10, I was a College Council Student Representative, and in Year 11, I currently serve as SRC Vice President and Maths & Science Captain. I’m also a member of the Knox Youth Council Advisory Committee. These roles have developed my public speaking, event management, and communication skills.

Volunteering

I actively support my school community through volunteering at Discovery Nights, Open Days, Orientation events, cultural festivals, and fundraising initiatives. I’ve also helped with daily flag duties and participated in Peer Support, mentoring Year 7 students in their transition to high school.
