As an aspiring economist and a student at Saint Joseph High School, I’ve always been interested in how systems work. But I realized early on that the most important system is the one inside our own heads. For years, I struggled with a "mental blockade"—a fear of being judged that kept me from speaking up and pursuing opportunities.

Through 10 years of martial arts, leadership roles in Robotics, and faith mentorship, I learned that confidence isn't something you're born with; it’s a skill you build.

I founded Lead With Voice to share the strategies I used to find my own voice and to help other students realize that their internal opinions matter more than external noise.
