Hello, I’m Adrian, a junior at Fairmont Preparatory Academy, where I’m enrolled in the

Paris, and Slovakia, where I earned the Brevet des Collèges with High Honors at Collège/Lycée

ideas and perspectives. I’m also passionate about math and science: I’ve competed in science

fairs, coded in Python and JavaScript, and I enjoy breaking down tough problems so they

actually make sense. When I’m not studying, you’ll probably find me on the tennis court (I’ve

played competitively since I was 7 and currently serve as Varsity Team Captain) or at the piano
