In this paid internship, I created a tool that rapidly evaluates segmentation thresholds in multiple image channels and color spaces. This tool supplements other tasks where object detection, localization, and classification are required. I developed a Python-based user interface that switches between color spaces and isolates the color channels of an imported image.
I was elected by the VBAS Board of Directors to serve as its youth representative, advancing public engagement in astronomy and space science. I lead initiatives that broaden our audience and strengthen the long-term sustainability of the VBAS, which was founded 70 years ago by the rocket scientists responsible for NASA’s Apollo Program.
I help inspire more than 5,000 students each year by volunteering at outreach events and planetarium shows where I operate telescopes, share the VBAS meteorite collection, and help educate the public about space science. One Saturday each month, I work as a Planetarium Intern, operating planetarium and AV equipment.
I also create educational videos for the VBAS YouTube and Instagram accounts. My videos have received more than 40,000 views and added hundreds of new followers, helping to attract new members, donors, and grant opportunities. This digital outreach played a key role in raising donations for a new $50,000 endowment fund in 2024.
As a freshman, I created this student-led club that encourages computer programming education for its members. We participate in hackathons and programming competitions, where we have won city-wide and state-wide awards. We meet weekly to teach, learn, and have fun with programming.
Original music recorded by me, playing all instruments. Primarily surf-rock inspired guitar music, with some Christmas songs in my personal style.
Team Captain in 2025-26. Selected as Teammate of the Year in 2024.
As a Model United Nations (UN) member, I participate in activities that simulate the procedures and processes of the real UN. At the 2024 NAIMUN Conference in Washington DC, with 3,000+ attendees, my resolution was the only one that passed in my 100-person committee.
