About Me
I’m a curious and creative 12-year-old student passionate about science, empathy, and innovation.
I love solving real-world problems through design, invention, and storytelling.
I’m exploring the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) to understand how small ideas—like a bracelet or a tissue—can make a big difference in people’s lives.
