And she started coding at 8. Her grandfather’s death from diabetes lit the fire. Now? She’s got national awards, a nonprofit called Sparklez (she’s Chief Sparklez Officer, no joke), and a research paper headed to an international med-tech conference. She’s also a ballet dancer, TEDx speaker, and entrepreneur selling handmade jewelry to fund kids in need. The big lesson? Age doesn’t define impact. Start where you are. Build what matters. Her motto? “Never give up, even if people say you’re too young.” That’s not just motivation; it’s a roadmap.
