Charting a Path with Purpose
My journey in technology, community service, and leadership is driven by a simple yet powerful idea: purpose gives direction to everything we do. As I explore the fields of quantum computing, AI, and robotics, I’m dedicated to using these tools to make a meaningful impact. Whether working hands-on in a university lab, presenting ideas in public forums, or volunteering in my community, I’ve learned that true innovation is rooted in empathy, adaptability, critical thinking, and purpose. Each new challenge strengthens my technical expertise, deepens my emotional intelligence, and reinforces my commitment to serve with intention.
Technical Foundations & Exploration
My academic journey has been shaped by a desire to understand and apply emerging technologies with real-world impact. Through concurrent studies in quantum computing and AI, alongside robotics engineering courses, I am building a strong technical foundation. These courses not only deepen my expertise in cutting-edge fields but also equip me with the skills to innovate and solve complex problems.

Leadership Through Action
I believe that true leadership is demonstrated through actions that inspire, uplift, and drive change. Whether it's sharing insights as a two-time speaker at Denver Startup Week, competing on the soccer field, or engaging in rigorous debate, each experience has taught me the importance of resilience, teamwork, and strategic thinking. These roles have allowed me to step up, challenge myself, and make a meaningful impact on those around me. Through these achievements, I continue to develop the skills and mindset needed to lead with integrity and purpose.

Why This Matters
I believe the most impactful innovations emerge from diverse perspectives and experiences. My journey through athletics, debate, and technology has taught me that tomorrow’s challenges demand a combination of technical expertise, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. With technology, especially AI, rapidly transforming industries, I am aware that many jobs of today may not exist by the time I graduate, and entirely new roles will have emerged. To excel in such an environment, I am committed to cultivating a flexible, lifelong learning mindset and embracing AI as a tool to enhance my field of expertise. Whether analyzing quantum algorithms or organizing community service events, I approach each challenge with a commitment to viewing problems from multiple angles. I am excited to bring this perspective to university, where I hope to collaborate with others in exploring new ideas and creating meaningful solutions.
