About Me

Welcome to my GITA webpage! My name is Layla Patel and I am a sophomore at Brea Olinda High School. This year is my second year in the GITA program, and I am a part of GITA 2. The other classes I am taking this year include AP Precalculus, Literature and Composition 2 (H), AP European History, Chemistry (H), and Spanish 2. I am also a part of the the BOHS Soccer team, as well as a part of AC Brea's G09 Team.

On campus, I am a part of Model United Nations, Project Blush, Lady IT, Robotics, SAHA (South Asian Heritage Appreciation), and president of Bead Buddies. This year, I am working on a project using skills learned in GITA to advancing the application of music in medicine. Some of my dreams include developing my skills in coding and web design, attending a top university, promoting the use of music in healthcare, and becoming a dermatologist.

Community Impact

I contribute to a program focused on community support by assisting with event planning and coordination. As captain of my club soccer team, I emphasize strategy and team motivation. Additionally, I lead Bead Buddies, where we create and donate bracelets to patients. This summer, I also had the opportunity to further my impact through a volunteer role in Communications and Marketing, enhancing my ability to support and engage with the community.
