Hi! I'm Cali. I am from Hawai'i! I’m on a mission to boost my science skills, especially in biology and chemistry, as they can be quite challenging for me. I’m also excited to get a jumpstart on Algebra 2 for next year! When I’m not sleeping, you can find me having fun with friends, playing tennis, binge-watching Netflix shows, enjoying playful moments with my dogs, or giving back to my community through volunteering.
