I’m passionate about using science to improve the welfare of children, especially in underserved communities. In 2022, I founded Mission Math, a youth-led nonprofit offering free K-12 STEM programs and events. I’ve led its growth to 4,000+ students across 40+ countries. I’ve also organized speaker panels with professionals from Pfizer, Georgia Tech, and UW, attracting over 80 attendees. In addition, for the past year, I’ve researched drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy under the guidance of a Stanford graduate student. I developed a Python model that detects seizures in children with 100% accuracy and predicts them with 89%, designed for integration into at-home epilepsy monitoring technology. I also lead my school’s Biotechnology Club, teaching 20+ students lab skills including DNA micropipetting and gel electrophoresis. In HOSA: Future Health Professionals, I compete in the Human Growth and Development event, studying 3 nursing school textbooks on children's cognitive and physical development. I've placed 2nd (2025), 4th (2024), and 5th (2023) at the WA State Conference, and 8th at the 2024 International Leadership Conference out of 165+ state and national finalists. Outside of academics, I love spending time with animals. Since 2022, I've volunteered at Seattle Humane, where my peers and I have raised tens of thousands of pounds of pet food for local food banks.
