Mental Health & My aim to spread awareness through technology

After years of medical treatment, I learned the importance of mental health and mental strategies.  My freshman year of high school I decided to break the silence of Mental Health in my community in creating the Mental Health Club at MHS. 

​

It is important to understand that we can all gain from mental health awareness. Mental health is like physical health -- it requires education, exercise, and consistency. 

​

During my Sophomore year, I published a book, How Petunia Gets Ready for the Hospital and a related mobile app, Petunia and the Hospital, to teach people of all ages important mental strategies to get through the tough and mentally demanding times.  

​

Combing my interests in mental health and technology have given me the opportunity to self learn and become aware of a product's life cycle.
