"Learn it, lead it, leave it better than she found it."
Rhea is a builder, and she rarely picks just one lane. A varsity athlete, nonprofit founder, Eagle Scout candidate, and high school student pursuing rigorous AP/Honors coursework along with dual enrollment at the University of Florida, she has spent her high school years proving that excellence in one area is not a ceiling — it is a launching pad. Whether she is competing on the lacrosse field, leading younger scouts, running a piano teaching business, or coordinating the donation of handmade plushies to foster children, she brings the same drive to everything she touches: learn it, lead it, and leave it better than she found it. For Rhea, that is not a philosophy she stumbled into. It is simply how she operates.
Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to launch Piano for Peanuts, a self-run piano instruction business for young children, and Snuggles and Stitches, a nonprofit where she teaches students to crochet handmade plushies donated to local foster homes. She was also selected for the Ryan Nece Foundation Student Service Program — a competitive two-year initiative open to approximately 25 students across Tampa Bay — and now serves as a Student Intern supporting the Foundation's CEO during its 20th anniversary campaign.
Fluent in English and Gujarati, with four years of Spanish and three years of American Sign Language, Rhea is working toward Florida's Gold Seal of Biliteracy in both. Having visited more than 20 countries and 25 U.S. states, she brings a global perspective and genuine intellectual curiosity to every room she enters.
