ABOUT
Hello! My name's Tristen Gamboa, I'm 17, and from San Diego, California.
I am currently a Senior at High Tech High North County. I am a California native and a competitive artistic gymnast. I love to get involved within my community, so I am a Student Ambassador and Student Faculty Member. As a Student Ambassador it's my responsibility to represent our school's project-based learning approach and to support all other aspects of our school. I have also taken on a partial internship, as a Student Faculty Member, which means I overview classes for adults earning their teaching credentials through the High Tech High organization. I attend their class sessions every Tuesday, and contribute counsel to their group discussions on how to make efficient and effective classroom environments. When I'm not training gymnastics, I coach little aspiring gymnasts. When I'm not doing that, you'll usually find me spending my time reading books, browsing web articles, watching documentary films, taking photos, or writing. I also enjoy hiking & cooking. I am curious about everything and would love to pack my bags and go travel the world. It's my life dream to go skiing in the Swiss Alps; and one day, I'd like to witness a summer Olympics. I'm super excited for this school year and I look forward to exploring the world around me and learning from my mentors.
