Beyond the Page - Writing Workshops

In 9th grade, I founded a creative writing organization dedicated to inspiring young writers and helping them improve their skills. For over two years now, I have been leading workshops for elementary and middle school students in order to teach creative writing techniques, self-expression, and build confidence. More recently, I organized a storybook writing contest, encouraging students to write and illustrate their own original books to share with the community.

Workshops I've organized and participated in:

Writing Awards

My writing has been selected as a runner up for the New York Times Summer Reading Contest 2025, gaining national recognition and reflecting my passion for writing. You can find my writing in my blog!

Book: The Blooming Mind

I am currently writing and illustrating a children's book that raises awareness regarding the importance of sleep, effectively combining storytelling and educating young students on concepts related to neuroscience. The book will introduce healthy sleeping habits to young readers. The publication of the book, "The Blooming Mind," is planned for the summer of 2026. Stay tuned for updates!

Journalism Club & Radio Station

As the current leader of Journalism Club and the founder of the journalism branch of the school radio broadcast, I write and edit stories that uncover the issues and experiences shaping student life, publishing print editions monthly that are distributed around the school. The club has over 600 articles on its website, with more being added every two weeks. Through interviews, reporting, and collaboration with our radio station, I explore how storytelling can bring overlooked perspectives into the conversation.
