Bio

My name is Barsinate Melaku and I am a sophomore in high school working hard to become a first-generation college graduate. I am passionate about learning and making a positive impact in my community. I would like to major in business administration and management. I’ve developed skills in collaboration, communication, and critical thinking through activities I am involved in which you can find below. My goal is to study business in college and one day lead and grow organizations that create a powerful change. I may not have all the resources, but I’ve got a big heart, hustle, and a vision for something bigger. A fun fact about me is that I am bilingual (English and Amharic).
