Isabella Torres, a sophomore at Reading High School, has already distinguished herself as a leader by serving as the president of the school’s new chapter of the INTERalliance program. Despite her young age, Isabella has shown remarkable dedication and vision in promoting opportunities in technology and innovation for her peers.
The INTERalliance program, aimed at fostering interest in technology and preparing high school students for careers in the field, will continue to grow under Isabella’s leadership. The program currently has six students participating and more students who are interested in the IT field can join as well.
Isabella’s journey with the INTERalliance program began as a freshman, where her passion for technology quickly caught the attention of her mentors. Her enthusiasm and drive led her to take on leadership roles early, and her ability to inspire her peers made her a natural choice for president in her second year.
In her capacity as president, Isabella, will help plan the INTERalliance TechOlympics and other events hosted by INTERalliance. She will also be looking at how to recruit more members to the group to continue to foster a passion for IT. “I want to help others understand that IT isn’t boring and more than just fixing computers but rather helping find creative solutions to everyday problems,” said Isabella.
Over the past summer, Isabella was able to attend the Oasis Semiconductor Workshop at the University of Cincinnati. The experience furthered her knowledge and passion for the world of IT. Her goal once she graduates from Reading is to attend MIT and pursue a career as a data scientist or in cybersecurity.
As she continues her high school journey, Isabella Torres is not only leading her peers in tech education but is also becoming a role model for young students looking to break into the rapidly evolving world of technology. With her leadership, Reading High School’s INTERalliance chapter is set to grow even further, helping students develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the tech-driven future.
