Her first recital

Six years old and already unafraid of a stage — the first of many curtain calls.

The year she found her voice

Debate club, the school paper, and a stubborn habit of asking why. She has been chasing answers ever since.

2021

Milestones & medals

Milestones & medals

Graduated with honors and a heart set on medicine — proof that the quiet, patient years add up.
