Beyond the classroom.

Piano / Practice and expression

I've played piano for more than six years. Along the way, I earned distinctions in Trinity College piano examinations at Levels 1, 2, and 4, and participated in international competition.

Piano adds a creative dimension to my life alongside science, leadership, and sport. It is an interest I have sustained through years of practice and musical learning.

Golf / Focus, clarity, and direction

I've played competitive golf for more than eight years and am a starter on South Windsor High School's varsity team. My Junior PGA experience includes first–fifth place finishes across multiple summer tournaments, alongside Drive, Chip & Putt National Qualifier and Connecticut Junior PGA Championship qualification.

Golf teaches me to focus on the next shot, choose a plan, and make consistent adjustments. Team golf adds another responsibility: showing up prepared and encouraging the people playing alongside me. A favorite milestone was a hole-in-one at Glastonbury Hills.

Civil Air Patrol / Learning to lead

I joined Civil Air Patrol in October 2022 and now serve as a Cadet Second Lieutenant and Flight Commander. I've mentored more than 45 cadets, helped more than 10 advance into leadership roles, and developed an eight-week curriculum covering public speaking, presentations, teamwork, and cadet development.

My milestones include the Billy Mitchell Award and top-two recognition among 400 cadets at Connecticut Wing Encampment. What I value most is helping others build the confidence to contribute.
