Dr. Lina Shehadeh, PhD
As a university professor, I’ve seen firsthand what makes college applications stand out. I founded Empower Leaders AI to help high school students develop the specific technical skills and projects that admissions committees notice. My unique background in both medicine and data science allows me to guide students in creating meaningful projects that showcase their exceptional potential
Why I Focus on High School Students
During my years in academia, I noticed a pattern: students with coding and analytical skills were consistently more successful in gaining admission to competitive programs. I created this workshop specifically to help high school students develop these advantages early, setting them up for greater success in the college application process and beyond
