Through the years she has accomplished various awards through band, writing and dance. Her favorite subjects are English and Math. The idea for her project came to her through the influence of her father. If she were to continue this project, she would attempt to market it though major machinery companies.

Her advice to other students thinking about doing a project would be to always choose a topic that interests you, it will make it much more fun. |
