Some Interisting Facts About Me
Curious quirks, fun firsts, and a few surprises, this page is where the resume pauses and the real me hopefully comes through. From launching my first podcast before in elementary school to funding my investment portfolio through dog-sitting, here's a glimpse into the moments, hobbies, and habits that make me, me. Whether it's the time I soldered a drone on a school night or my love for spreadsheets and stargazing, I believe personality is just as important as performance.

Program Space
I created the SPACE volunteering program to give back to my community in the areas I'm most passionate about - where my skills and purpose align. Inspired by my love for space, I designed the name as an acronym for Science, Programming, Analytics, Creativity, and Economics-five fields that have shaped my journey and that I believe can empower others.</p> <p>Just like outer space, these areas hold infinite potential. When we choose to share what we know and support those around us, the ripple effects are limitless. Through SPACE, I aim to spark curiosity, build confidence, and open doors for others - one project, one student, one breakthrough at a time.
