How has COVID impacted your high school journey? “Covid has impacted my high school journey in a somewhat positive way; in a sense that I was able to achieve straight A’s. So, I wouldn’t say COVID negatively impacted my school life.”

If you had any advice to give to the students of Santaluces, what would it be? “Get some close friends and not just friends you see at school, but actual friends, and do extracurriculars to meet new people so that you’re able to network. You never know when you’ll need a favor.”

During his free time, he watches some of his favorite shows. His favorite movie is Parasite and is currently watching the drama series Money Heist.
