De Soto also served as a volunteer MATHCOUNTS coach for two different schools in her area, leading one to a top-10 finish at the chapter level. She described her time mentoring her Mathletes as “life-changing,” explaining that she realized she “had helped form a true team, whose friendship extended far beyond math problems. All these students, who were so withdrawn initially, who had become accustomed to hiding in the back of their classes, who had let their accomplishments define their worth, had found confidence in each other. Just being able to help create something that strong was nothing short of humbling.” De Soto will attend MIT in the fall. 2O17 MATHCOUNTS Alumni Scholarship WINNERs
