  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Nikki Leali, 
the first-place winner of the prestigious Pathfinder Scholarship in the 
Computer Engineering and Technology category. This scholarship is 
awarded to Palm Beach and Martin County students who have displayed 
excellence in their academic and communal endeavors in a multitude of 
categories
  Nikki, a student at FAU High School, is a shining example of hard 
work and dedication. She is not only taking dual enrollment courses at 
the FAU Wilkes Honors College but also working towards a major in data 
analytics. Her future includes continuing her education at FAU and 
graduating in 2027 with a master's degree, with the aim of becoming a 
data analyst. Her experience volunteering with FAU's Privacy, Security, 
and Trust in Autonomy Lab, where she has gained experience interpreting 
research papers and using Python coding, has prepared her to launch 
into a career in which she hopes to become a leader in implementing and 
advancing artificial intelligence and data visualization.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me today in recognizing Ms. Nikki 
Leali as an excellent student and notable contributor to the field of 
computer engineering and technology.
