I’m driven by the belief that the world’s best ideas come from trying new things and staying open to where they land. From project's I’ve built to the lessons I’ve learned along the way, everything here represents a piece of my journey: one that still very much in progress.
This site is a collection of my work, interests, and the experiences that have shaped who I am as an academic, artist, and leader. Whether you're here to see what I've been working on or just curious about my story, I hope you find something that resonates. Thanks for stopping by, and I'm always open to connecting with people who share similar passions or perspectives.
Academics and Passions
I’m a student at Rye Country Day School, where I pursue a rigorous academic curriculum in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and history—disciplines that sharpen my critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Beyond the classroom, I serve and lead as captain of the high school Varsity Fencing team, Editor-in-Chief of the RCDS Research Journal, and the first-violist in my chamber group at Juilliard Pre-College.
Outside of my extracurricular commitments, you'll usually find me playing ping-pong at the Westchester Table Tennis Center or taking long walks with friends through NYC. I'm the type of person who gets lost in hours of meditation, loves hiking trails in the Rockefeller State Preserve, and is always up for a quick game of Exploding Kittens or UNO. These moments away from my usual routine remind me why I work hard in the first place—they fuel my creativity and give me perspective on everything else I do.
