I’ve been passionate about global environmental issues and social entrepreneurship. In 4th grade, I founded Dream Builders, a bilingual student-led environmental team. Our activities include upcycling projects, workshops, and creating environmental science videos featured on NASA eClips. I’ve presented at an Expo 2025 event and at Dr. Jane Goodall’s Japan visit event. I’m also interested in neuroscience and psychology, and currently researching how volunteer work impacts children’s self-esteem. Through my passion, I’d like to connect with members of the foundation and hope to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.
