As the President of Southern California DECA, I lead, represent, and oversee all of the 45+ SoCal DECA chapters. I connect chapters for greater competitive success, helping to organize the annual Southern California Career Development Conference and State Career Development Conference. I ensure communication, collaboration, and competition between SoCal chapters.

I am a DECA Chapter Officer at Del Norte High School. My passion for DECA began while I was a member of the Robotics Club at my school, where I worked under Kevin He, the DECA Chapter President at Del Norte High School. Observing his positive impact on the lives of club members and his own success as a businessman inspired me to pursue a career in DECA. Currently, I work as the VP of External Operations, where I have: - Led teams at the 2022 Western Regional Leadership Conference and placed 4th in the DECA Garage Entrepreneurship game - Won 3rd Place Overall in ETDM at the 2024 SoCal CDC - Placed at the 2023 Ultimate DECA Power Trip

As the Vice President of Business in Del Norte High School's FIRST Robotics Team, Team Optix 3749, I work extensively in securing the funds our club needs to build a robot and compete with it. I started out as the Director of Fundraising in my Freshman year of High School. Since then I have increased our department's members by 10+ while raising nearly $50,000. Because of this, Team Optix has reached the World Championships twice in a row, putting us in the top 4% of teams in the world.

Over the summer, I worked an internship at LensLock, a nationally ranked company centered on supplying U.S.A Police Departments with body cameras. By working a real job in a real company environment, I learned a substantial amount about teamwork, communication, and the technology involved in building video equipment. In addition, I collaborated with the CMO and gained many skills in Social-Media Marketing.
