About Me

Hello! I'm Michael, currently a student in the Greater Philadelphia region, passionate about learning and designing innovative solutions in electronics.  

Here, I’ve partaken in Boy Scouts, one of my biggest hobbies. I've developed a love for the outdoors while also gaining invaluable experience in organization and leadership as Senior Patrol Leader of a troop of 65 Scouts. In this role, I learned how to lead others, manage logistics, and navigate challenges to achieve ambitious goals.

Beyond Scouting, I enjoy exploring a wide range of interests, like playing volleyball, cello, and staying active in my church. I'm a huge penguin-lover, but also enjoy badminton and orienteering, a mental and physical sport utilizing a map and compass that I based my Eagle Scout Project on.

Regarding my French journey, it all started in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. In my kindergarten year, my elementary school pioneered a French Immersion Program. Half the day (Math/Science) was taught in French with the other half (English/Social Studies) in English. Over time, I have come to enjoy languages, especially ones that I have had an early relationship with. They have become a part of my daily life, where I continue to learn languages to gain new perspectives on the world and communicate with diverse peoples. 

After high school, I plan to use my language skills to strengthen my interests in the intersection of business and electrical engineering and how they serve to solve real-world logistical problems. I hope to improve my French, Chinese, and hopefully Arabic and ASL comprehension to a professional level. Engaging with their respective culture, articles, and current events daily will certainly improve my skills.
