About Me
From New York, I’m participating in the communities I find myself in by utilizing my dedicated interests and advanced skills in technology, language, and the world.
My Values
Technology: I find technology to be an important and constant thing in my life. As someone from Gen Z, I’ve seen it evolve rapidly. I am excited to learn about new technologies and believe strongly in studying them, learning more about them, and experimenting with them.
Education: I believe that education is a lifelong journey that extends far beyond the classroom model. It's not just about memorizing facts, but about developing critical thinking skills and expanding one's worldview. Learning should be engaging and meaningful, connecting theoretical knowledge with practical applications. I value both formal education and self-directed learning, as they each offer unique perspectives and opportunities for growth.
Language: I’m studying Spanish because I really like it, but I also believe strongly in language. Learning another language can take several forms, like Spanish, artwork, or coding, and I think that all of them change the way you think and make you a better person. I believe strongly in the power of the written, spoken, and artistic word and am excited to see it thrive in future years.
The things I work on and do are the things I believe in.
Fun & Games
In my free time, I draw, play games, and write. I’m active on Instagram and LinkedIn and enjoy talking with people and learning about their backgrounds.
I like birds (ducks are a strong favorite) and my favorite color is orange. My go-to fun fact is that I have an identical twin brother.

ALOUD Language Learning Game (ALOUD 2025) Details
I made a game titled Partybusters! (in Spanish, ¡Guardafiesta!) in which players manage a birthday party. They admit "partygoers" by reading a list of ever-more complicated rules. The game's focus is on language aquisition as a game for reviewing vocabulary and grammar concepts. It's infinitely expandable using AI. I demoed the game to teachers at Marist Univeristy's ALOUD conference in 2025.
As one of the two student representatives in the Marist + AI working group, I helped faculty and students learn more about AI technology as well as guide them to use it effectively, with an ultimate goal of achieving a community at Marist that integrates AI in a responsible, useful way. I collaborated with faculty to develop an AI framework at Marist and created, edited, and commented on multiple pieces of documentation and framework material.
Journalistic Skills & Marist Circle Contributions
This is the newspaper club at Marist University. You can view my work here.
All of my articles are on topics that I found interesting, or just general happenings on campus. I pride myself in variety and quality writing.
