LEADERSHIP & IMPACT
Creating Spaces for Connection, Advocacy, and Change.
To me, leadership has never been defined solely by a title. It is about recognizing what is missing, bringing people together, and creating opportunities for others to feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Whether through founding a biomedical club, organizing conversations about global health, or working alongside underserved communities, I have learned that meaningful impact often begins with a simple willingness to take initiative.
01 · HEALTH & SCIENCE LEADERSHIP
Bio Med Scholars Association
Founder & President
Building an interdisciplinary community where students explore medicine, biomedical science, and public health.
When I transferred to EF Academy Pasadena, I saw an opportunity to create the kind of scientific community I had always wanted to be part of. I founded the Biomedical Science Association (BMSA) to bring students together through a shared curiosity about medicine, biology, and the challenges shaping modern healthcare.
Through hands-on dissections, interactive workshops, and conversations with guest speakers, BMSA has grown into a space where students can explore biomedical science beyond the classroom.
Through BMSA, I helped organize an interactive CPR booth at EF Academy Pasadena’s Wellness Fair, introducing students to basic lifesaving techniques and promoting emergency preparedness through hands-on learning.
Education is more than access to a classroom. It is the opportunity to imagine a future, develop independence, and pursue ambitions without unnecessary limitations.
As Branch President of Omid for Girls, I lead initiatives to provide educational support and tutoring to girls in Afghanistan who face limited access to education. Through virtual tutoring and mentorship, we work to empower young girls through learning and create opportunities beyond the classroom.
03 · NONPROFIT & COMMUNITY ART
LC Heart Share
Vice President
Bringing Communities Together Through Art.
As Vice President of LC Heartshare, a student-led nonprofit organization based in La Crescenta, California, I helped support its mission of brightening local communities through hand-painted murals, artistic initiatives, and community events.
Through collaborative art projects and community engagement, Heartshare creates opportunities for young artists to share their creativity beyond the classroom. Our work reflects the belief that art should not be confined to galleries or individual canvases, but should be accessible to everyone.

04 · STUDENT UNION & SCHOOL COMMUNITY
Student Government
GRADE DIRECTOR · PARTNERSHIP DIRECTOR · CO-EXECUTIVE
Building Bridges Across Communities.
At a school representing more than 30 national backgrounds, leadership means learning to work across different perspectives, experiences, and ways of communicating.
Through my roles as Grade Director, Partnership Director, and Co-Executive, I have worked to strengthen communication between students, support student-led initiatives, and encourage collaboration across clubs and grade levels.
​
For me, student leadership is ultimately about creating an environment where more people feel comfortable contributing their voices.
05 · School Spirit
Pep-Squad
&
Cheer
Co-Captain
Leading with Spirit, Trust, and Teamwork.
As a Co-Captain of the cheerleading teams at LCHS and EF Academy Pasadena, I learned to lead through encouragement, discipline, and trust. From coordinating routines and supporting teammates during practices to building team spirit at school events, I discovered how much a team's success depends on the confidence and commitment of every individual.
Cheerleading reminded me that the strongest teams are built not only on individual talent, but on the trust we place in one another.
