Programs & Academic Enrichment

Lumiere Publishing Program

As part of this selective research-based program, I explored a topic of deep personal interest: the impact of technology on adolescent mental health.

With the rise of digital platforms and screen time, I wanted to understand not only what the effects were, but why they were happening.

The research taught me to ask deeper questions and helped affirm my passion for youth mental wellness.

Columbia University Summer Program (Pre-Law)

Oxbridge Creative Writing Program – Cambridge, UK

At Columbia, I immersed myself in the culture of college life while studying foundational legal concepts.

From preparing and participating in a mock trial to managing my own time across a rigorous three-week schedule, I strengthened both my independence and my passion for the legal field.

The opportunity to learn from esteemed professors and connect with students from around the globe made it an unforgettable experience.

Living and studying at Cambridge was both a personal and academic breakthrough. Initially hesitant and shy, I grew into a confident writer and speaker.

Through creative writing workshops and international friendships, I found my voice—and the courage to share it.

It was a transformative experience that reminded me that stepping outside my comfort zone can lead to incredible growth.

NYU Pre-Law Online Program

This program gave me a realistic and inspiring glimpse into the legal profession.

I learned about law school admissions, the LSAT, the BAR exam, and the core qualities that make an effective lawyer.

My professor’s firsthand insights confirmed what I had long suspected: I belong in law. Every lecture, note, and discussion deepened my resolve.

Clubs & Leadership

Animal Rights Foundation (ARF) Club

Animals are a universal part of childhood, and preserving their well-being is something I care deeply about.

Through ARF, I’ve helped organize donations to shelters, create handmade dog toys, and raise awareness about animal rights. Every drive and initiative is a small step toward protecting the animals who bring so much joy into our lives.

Mental Health Association Club

Mental health advocacy has always been deeply personal to me.

Through this club, I channel my passion into fundraising, outreach, and support projects for students struggling with mental health. Inspired by my own friends' experiences, I work to ensure that no student feels alone in their struggle. Our efforts go toward building a more compassionate and proactive school community.
