About

Over the past several years I have built skills in data analysis, statistical reasoning, research, and communication through national-level Public Forum debate, advanced STEM coursework, and independent research projects. I like using data and evidence to understand complicated problems, and then explaining clearly what I found.

Debate is where that started. I have competed on the national circuit for three seasons, cleared to elimination rounds at Harvard, Georgetown, and Notre Dame, and earned a Silver bid to the 2026 Tournament of Champions at #22 in the country. I am in my second season as Captain of our Forensics Speech & Debate Club, I am President of the Coding Club, and I have coached middle and high school debaters since 2025.

The research grew out of the same habit. I spent a year testing whether producer prices really do predict consumer prices across 78 years of U.S. data, and found that most of what looks like predictive power is just inflation repeating itself. This summer, as an AI and data engineering intern at Blackstraw, I built LensIQ, a chatbot that lets plant supervisors and quality teams ask questions of manufacturing data in plain English instead of waiting on a data team. In September, the research paper was published in the National High School Journal of Science.

Outside all of that, I have helped run Livingston Youth Leaders since 2021, the nonprofit I co-founded and now lead as President.

I am most interested in where data science, economics, public policy, artificial intelligence, and decision-making meet.
