Nova High School / Broward County
Keiya’s 4.0 demonstrates a strong desire to excel in school and almost everything he involves himself. As the Project Manager of the
National Honor Society, he made it a priority to help over 150 students in the club discover a love and passion for STEM. Keiya’s
commitment to helping others through education inspired him to open a social media account, Keiyacademics, where he posts useful
information like tips and tricks on college essays, tutorials on filling out documents like fee waivers for Bright Futures, etc. Keiya is the
group organizer for the Plywood Regatta, plays tennis and serves as an international teachers’ assistant at his previous middle school in
Japan. He found a passion for physics when he first took a physics class as a junior in high school. This physics class intrigued Keiya to
study nuclear energy. He has a desire to change the stigma around nuclear science from many negatives to positives by being a person
who leads the changing narrative surrounding atomic energy. Keiya plans to attend the University of Florida’s Nuclear Engineering
Program.
