My experiences in leadership, mentorship, and paid employment have shaped a disciplined work ethic and a desire to apply technical skills in ways that directly benefit others. I value responsibility, consistency, and growth through challenge.

Volunteering
-
I organized and led a service project at Skyuka Hall, a school serving students with learning and developmental disabilities, where I worked alongside peers to support classroom needs and facility projects. Spending time with students and educators at Skyuka helped me better understand how learning environments can be adapted to support different needs. I also mentor middle school students through WyldLife, helping lead discussions and raising funds for youth camps, and serve as a mentor and advisor to younger students at my school.
