    Wanting to explore the intersect of tech and something bigger, I found myself drawn to healthcare.

    Samsung Research America Intern

    This summer I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the complex world of battery research.

    Generation Peace Academy

    GPA taught me resilience and perseverance. Fundraising on the streets to fund our tsunami relief efforts in Japan required trudging through rejections and finding gratitude in the mundane. Bringing joy to those less fortunate is the reason I continue to volunteer.

    Illinois Math and Science Academy

    I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the IMSA community and my first three years living away from home. This is where I learned to love dance, became involved in leadership development, and fell in love with philosophy. IMSA was the first place to encourage me to embrace my nerdiness.
