01 / Academics & Leadership

Curious about what shapes people’s lives.

My strongest academic interests center on people, society, and the systems that influence their lives. I am especially drawn to psychology, government, criminal justice, and questions about fairness, belonging, and community.

Leadership & Service

AACD

Co-Founder, Concord-Carlisle High School Chapter

AACD is a rehabilitation hospital serving children and adults with disabilities in Recife, Brazil, my mother’s hometown. My siblings and I organize a yearly school-wide clothing drive and volunteer at the hospital when we visit Brazil.

In June 2026, I also helped organize and perform in Stand Up for Good, a comedy fundraiser benefiting AACD—combining service, event leadership, and comedy for a cause deeply meaningful to my family.

02

Building Belonging

As a Unified Basketball peer mentor, freshman orientation leader and volunteer youth lacrosse coach, I try to notice who may need encouragement and help people feel welcome participating.

03

Additional Involvement

Founding member and student leader of the Civics Club, active member of the Justice System Reform Club, and participant in a service-learning trip to Cuba.
