Project on Civic Dialogue
As a fellow with the Project on Civic Dialogue, I work with Professor Lara Schwartz to facilitate challenging conversations about pressing issues on campus. I am also a co-founder of a new program to build community on campus through peer leaders.
American University International Relations Society
As an American University Model UN travel team delegate, I compete for the world's #1 ranked Model UN Team. Having served as a delegate for China, Saudi Arabia, Sheffield United, and various other organizations and nations, I have researched and debated cutting edge policy prescriptions for the modern era. Beyond competing, I have taught multiple Model UN workshops to highschoolers. I also wrote a published background guide and chaired a committee on the African Development Bank for AMERIMUNC, American University's Highschool Model UN Conference. In this organization I have found a social group that balances kinship and excellence.

I performed at the highest level as a Sousaphone player and section leader in the Mercer Island High School Marching Band. I have played at a PGA tour and two Seattle Seahawks games, including a Paul Allen tribute performance. My time as a Sousaphone created lasting friendships and taught me the basics of leadership as I trained the next generation of marching band students, who performed at the Macy's Day parade in 2023.

As a Mercer Island High School Mock Trial captain, I overhauled the past curriculum, creating slide decks and prewritten note guides. From instructing freshmen on the federal rules of evidence to arguing about the constitutionality of evidence seizures in pretrial arguments, my time in mock trial has made me a stronger speaker, leader, and learner.

As a founder of Dollar Scholars, I worked alongside my peers and a professor to create a financial literacy organization. Beyond researching and working through the nonprofit filing process, I also wrote the organization's bylaws and helped edit the curriculum. The student leadership team pivoted to Surety Intitive due to having a different intended target demographic and organizational vision, and we remain committed to increasing financial literacy across the country.
