Mighty Crayon

Nonprofit program

As Executive Director of this nonprofit, I lead a zero-waste biofuel pilot program demonstrating how upcycling discarded crayons can fund STEM education in underserved schools while helping the environment.

HackPNW

Hackathon

As head organizer, I help build Washington's largest high school hackathon. We've partnered with tech giants to give over 200 students a 24-hour space to build real-world solutions.

Youth Advisory Council

Policy impact

I serve as the President of U.S. Congressman Adam Smith's Youth Advisory Council, focusing on youth advocacy and policy at the intersection of technology and healthcare.

Microgravity Research

Space payload

I'm collaborating with the MIT Media Lab and others on a Blue Origin payload to test DNA origami folding in space.

Impact

I love building communities around shared curiosity—whether that's helping high schoolers learn to code, connecting researchers, or working with policymakers. It's all about making knowledge more accessible so we can solve big problems together.
