During the school year, I am a student at Earl Warren High School-- an Academic Decathlete,
a varsity soccer player, and a leader in and out of the classroom.

However, this summer I have transformed into a YES program intern at Southwest Research Institute.

1 Minute Biography
I was born in Emmeloord, the Netherlands on September 16, 1991. In 1999, my parents decided to move
to San Antonio, Texas so that my dad could take a job at SwRI. After a little bit of adjusting
to the American environment, I was admitted to the GT program at Timberwilde Elementary School.
My teacher, Ms. Mary Finch, sparked my interest in the world of science with programs about
Egyptology and Architecture. Now as a high school student, I am taking advanced math and science
classes and still love learning about foreign cultures and languages (heres my new favorite).
