Andrew Shi
Diamond Bar Chapter President
My name is Andrew Shi, a college student at Stanford University. I started playing the piano at the age of five and, at six, performed at Carnegie Hall. My passion for music has driven me in all aspects of my academic studies and extracurricular activities. I pursue my passion in biology and was a silver medalist at the 2019 and 2020 British Biology Olympiad. I’m joining Aerovate because I hope to not only impart my passion for music and academics but to spread optimism and character for life.
