| Biography |
|---|
| I’m 14 and attend Saint Brother Andre C.H.S. in the Pre-AP Program with a 97% GPA. I’m on the SBA Robotics, Reach for the Top, and Tennis Teams. I also play trumpet and guitar. I’m very passionate about science, technology, engineering and math. In fact, I started an organization called www.developinginnovations.org that inspires, celebrates, and promotes S.T.E.M. students. My experiences at the past two CWSF’s have greatly impacted my life and my vision is that of a social entrepreneur. This calling to help others through developing innovations lead me to design the Turbo-Eco Cookstove Plus. This modular stove has the capabilities to charge small electrical devices by using a thermoelectric generator, purifies water, and reduces emissions through complete combustion. When I’m not working on my innovations I can be found at the University of Toronto Science and Engineering Program. I am most proud of the 11 of 14 professional SolidWorks courses I have taken this past year and looking forward to completing the CSWP Exam and becoming the youngest certified SolidWorks Professional in the world. I feel that today’s S.T.E.M. students will have the greatest positive impact on the future of the world and its people. |
