NSU University School student
Student. Observer. Problem-solver.
I’m an NSU University School student drawn to human biology and science, with a long-term goal of attending medical school. Outside class, I explore photography, herpetology, electronics, and computers.

I’m an NSU University School student with a strong academic record. Four of my seven classes are honors classes.
My interest in human biology and science draws me toward medicine. I would like to attend medical school. For now, I’m building my academic foundation and continuing to explore the subjects that interest me.

School photography program
NSU University School
I’m part of USN, my school’s photography program. I want to keep developing my eye for light, composition, and the details that make a photograph worth looking at.
Photography connects my interest in the natural world with a creative way to share what I notice.
I plan to share a selection of my photographs here, along with the context and choices behind each image.
My interests connect through observation. Keeping animals makes me attentive to behavior and the environments I provide. Photography gives me another reason to notice details. Tinkering with electronics and computers gives me a way to work through practical questions.
Herpetology — the study of reptiles and amphibians — is one of my strongest interests. I care about understanding animals and making that knowledge easier for others to understand.
I want to understand the why, not just memorize the answer.
Independent interests.
Everyday responsibility.
Aquarium keeping · Personal experience
Caring for a large aquarium connects my interest in animals with practical systems. I’ve noticed how differently water evaporates in different environments, which gives me a reason to think about the aquarium and the conditions around it.
Which environmental conditions account for the differences I notice? An observation like this gives me a concrete question to follow.
Technology · Personal interest
I enjoy figuring out how components work together and working through problems when something doesn’t behave as expected. I’m interested in the reasoning behind a fix as much as the final result.
Science, creativity, and
practical problem-solving.
From a turtle’s behavior to the anatomy behind an adaptation, I like looking beyond a species name and understanding the animal itself. Natural history gives every observation a little more context.
Observation · Behavior · Natural historyA clear explanation can turn a passing interest into a real connection. I care about herpetology education and making unfamiliar topics easier to understand, without losing the details that matter.
Questions · Clear explanations · Shared learningI like tinkering with electronics and computers. I’m interested in what’s going on behind the screen, how the parts of a system work together, and how to work through a problem when something doesn’t behave as expected.
