    "summary": "I\u2019m a junior at Cleburne High School with seven years of programming experience in Java, Python, and Lua. Computers are my passion! I even built and manage my own home server, which runs my email, storage, projects, and this very website. Academically, I rank top one of my class, hold a 3.97 unweighted GPA and a 4.735 weighted GPA, and scored a 1510 on the PSAT. I earned 5s on AP Human Geography, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Computer Science A, and a 4 on AP World History.\n\nI like to share what I know: I led an after-school AP Computer Science Principles club of 8\u201310 students, and their average grade topped 85. I\u2019m also a two-time state champion in Programming for both SkillsUSA and FBLA, a JAMbassador Pro for SkillsJAM, and hold CompTIA A+, CompTIA Security+, and OSHA 10-Hour certifications.\n\nOutside the lab, I\u2019m ranked second on the varsity tennis team and compete in powerlifting. I\u2019m active in TSA, Key Club (President), BETA Club, FBLA, SkillsUSA, TAFE, PAC, and SkillsJAM, and I serve as SkillsUSA District 4 Historian (2024-2025) and District 4 Officer (2025-2026).\n\nAlthough I live with anxiety and ADHD, I\u2019ve learned to channel them into positive energy. My Catholic faith keeps me grounded, and I enjoy meeting new people, encouraging safe online habits, and inspiring others to explore technology.",
