I'm a recent college graduate from the University of Chicago and young professional based in Washington, DC, and currently working in international development. I also established a peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring program at my former high school and developed curricula centered around standardized test preparation and college admissions. In college, I coordinated outreach to promising underrepresented minority students, developing and implementing seminars designed to guide them through the admissions process for top universities, bolster their chances of success, and connect them with resources aimed at increasing access and affordability. My stints with college classes and all sorts of professional organizations have equipped me with foundational skills in technical writing, strategic communication, blogging, and journalism that I'm always excited to pass on to the next generation of academic superstars!

In my down time, I like to cook and bake, discover new bike trails, rock climb, hike, get involved with local community advocacy or political initiatives, and perform (I'm into theatre and a cappella).
