leading with empathy and purpose

 Founder and Leader, Engineering for Equity Awareness Compassion Engagement (ACE) Organization at Castilleja

Co-founded a social impact challenge in India to inspire kids to use STEM to solve real-world problems. The inaugural 2022 challenge attracted 800+ kids (60% girls) from 232 schools. This year's theme is Assistive Technologies with 2188 participants.

Leader on Gatorobotics (Team 1700), overseeing  construction of the robot and mentoring team on design and fabrication skills.  I also led community outreach, helping team win the Engineering Inspiration Award and reach World Championships twice.

 I am the only student to simultaneously be employed as a head coach by my school. I strategize and supervise training, practice sessions and official games for the middle school basketball team.  Under my management, the team had a winning record of more than 80%.

 I have held several roles in the student government, including Senator, Treasurer, and Vice President. I enjoyed the responsibility of bringing the student body closer together and advocating for their causes. For example, I proudly started a daily entertainment email, bringing joy to many during COVID. 

I served on the Student Advisory Board for U.S. Congresswoman Anna Eshoo. I was part of the subcommittee focused on Innovation, Data, and Commerce. As part of the board, I partnered with other high school students to research topics and important issues on data security with the goal of providing legislation recommendations to Congress.
