“I had the pleasure of growing up in a household that was unapologetically infatuated with learning. My parents have always been passionate about education, sports, music, and travel, so it only seemed natural to me to throw myself into learning in much the same way. Approaching school as an opportunity to play and explore has allowed me to nurture my love of languages, literature, and history, while finding joy in the most unexpected of environments (including math class).”
