Chaela Zaide has been a part of the SLI program since the 7th grade. Throughout the years, she has worked with passion and determination through various projects such as Project Invent, and Project Pay-it-forward. Both of these experiences hold immense value, as these projects in particular, have been able to help the community with ongoing issues and she hopes to have made a lasting impact. She has a strong interest in biological sciences, and plans to continue in that field going into the future.

Outside of school, Chaela spends her free time drawing and reading. As she also finds a lot of value in the creative arts, she makes sure to improve her skills in this field. Aside from art, she also enjoys spending time with friends and family, listening to music, and picking up different hobbies.
