GITA Portfolio

Personal Reflections:

AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP), offered as GITA 2 within the Global IT Academy at Brea Olinda High School, provides students with a broad introduction to the central ideas of computer science and the impact of computing on society. This course is designed to be both creative and rigorous, blending technical programming skills with exploration of real-world applications, ethical considerations, and problem-solving strategies. Students will use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to design and implement interactive programs and digital artifacts while also engaging with big-picture concepts such as algorithms, cybersecurity, and data analysis.

Future Aspirations:

My future educational goals are to go to UCLA and study either Marketing or Law as a major and Film as a minor. I hope to be a professional Writer/Director for major motion pictures

Activites:

I have recently started the NHD Club. I am a part of the United Choirs of Brea (Masquerade). I volunteer through the Student Advisory Board, meaning I have done trash clean ups, ushering for Curtis Theater shows, and face painting at movies under the stars.
