About
I am a San Francisco–based student at Stanford Online High School with interests spanning computational research, artificial intelligence, engineering, entrepreneurship, and education. My work explores practical questions—from how joint constraints shape movement to how technology can identify health risks earlier.
Beyond research, I build communities where other students can grow. I founded a science research club, lead robotics outreach, edit student publications, tutor across twelve courses, and mentor robotics teams in the United States and Rwanda.
I have also trained and performed with the Chitresh Das Institute since 2015. Dance keeps me grounded in discipline, storytelling, and the human movement that inspires much of my research.
