Hi! I’m a sophomore who has a strong passion for math and loves exploring new ways to solve problems and think critically. I enjoy challenging myself with new concepts and helping others when I can. Outside of school, I love playing badminton—it’s one of my favorite ways to stay active and have fun. I’m joining Schoolhouse to connect with a community of learners, share knowledge, and grow both academically and personally. I’m excited to learn from others, contribute where I can, and be part of a supportive space for learning and growth!
