About

A little about me

I'm a rising senior at Milton Academy with a few seemingly different passions — investing, music, and STEM — that all share the same root: I love figuring out how something works and then sharing my interests with others.

That curiosity led me to lead my school's Investment Club and help build a financial-literacy app, to perform jazz on stages like the Newport Jazz Festival while volunteering to teach younger musicians, and to spend three years on a VEX robotics team while mentoring kids in coding. I care most about the part where knowledge gets handed down: the moment something clicks for a student I'm working with.

“The fastest way to understand something deeply is to teach it to someone else.”
