Bio

I am a rising college freshman with a passion for environmental engineering and math education. Throughout high school, I immersed myself in opportunities spanning scientific research, environmental advocacy, and content creation. I thrive in settings where curiosity drives the work — whether that's in the field, in a lab, or in front of a whiteboard. As the founder of a math education platform with nearly 100k followers built around an intuition-first approach to learning, a former research affiliate with the UW Winkler Lab, and a Clean Water Ambassador with King County along the Duwamish River, I'm comfortable wearing many hats and working alongside people from all walks of life. Outside of academics and extracurriculars, I'm passionate about making complex ideas feel approachable — whether through tutoring, creating content, or just a good conversation. When I'm not at my desk, you'll probably find me exploring Seattle's waterways or finding a new concept I can't wait to break down.
