Angela Braganza
Auckland
Summary
I am an 18 year old student with a proven track record at Carmel College, excelling in academics and analytical reasoning. I am intending to study at the University of Auckland with a Bachelor in Engineering (Honours). As a former female world record holder in speedcubing, I demonstrate exceptional problem-solving, spatial awareness and pattern recognition skills. These skills, along with my competitive nature, allow me to adapt quickly to changes and maintain composure in high stress situations.
