Hi, my name is Jaime Kamber and I am very excited to have been a part of the i2 program through Academic Exploration. Since I was young, I have always been drawn to projects, groups, and classes that are STEM-focused.

I have lived in San Francisco since I was born but moved houses about 5 years ago. Before SHC, I went to San Francisco Friends School for 9 years. It was a great experience and I met amazing people, but it was a small school, and being there for 9 years was too much. Given this, when I was picking a high school, I wanted a bigger school that I would be able to enjoy for all 4 years. I have loved SHC so far, as it presents me with so many new challenges and opportunities.

During the winter sports season, I participated in the Girl’s Freshman Soccer team. It was a great experience where I got to connect more with my peers and have a fun time playing the sport I love. I also play soccer outside of school on a club team called SF Elite Academy. I have enjoyed playing soccer for more than 12 years, and plan to continue playing throughout my high school years. I look forward to the many years to come at SHC and hope to engage myself more in future STEM-focused classes.
