Preschool
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by all types of art, especially music and literature.
What is your favorite subject in school, and why?
I really like Values in World Thought because we get to read a lot of cool books and have interesting discussions. I also have a lot of fun in Computer Science Principles.
If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be?
This is a terrifying question, but I don’t think anything would go wrong with making people a bit more empathetic; it would definitely solve a lot of the world’s problems.

A Taylor Swift concert
Name one big challenge in your life right now:
Choosing a college has definitely been a struggle.
What is your dream job and why?
I’ve never had any sort of dream job, but I want to improve people’s lives in some capacity. Recently I’ve been looking into urban planning, but I also like the idea of going into tech.
What are your three favorite things?
Video essays, thrifting and coffee
Favorite book:
I don’t have a favorite book (embarrassing), but “Radio Silence” by Alice Oseman is a book I’ve enjoyed reading at different times over the past few years. It’s entertaining, relatable and asks a lot of interesting questions.
What do you want to do after high school?
I plan on going to college!
Something that you are proud of – and why:
I’m quite proud of the outfits I wear to school – I think I’m pretty good at wearing something new and creative every day.
Something that makes you smile:
I love puns.
A favorite MMS memory – and why?
I have so many good memories of doing the “Ramayana!” at the Mexican Heritage Theater over the years. It’s been really special growing up visiting the same place every year – spending time under the palm trees and running around the ducks and the vending machines. I can’t wait to go back this year.
Top three most-played songs on your favorite playlist:
“That’s Our Lamp” by Mitski, “Simulation Swarm” by Big Thief and “She Won’t Go Away” by Faye Webster
