About

I'm a junior at Garden City High School, Class of 2027, driven by an unwavering commitment to law, advocacy, and community service. My journey has taken me from the courtrooms of Long Island to the classrooms of India, each experience shaping my understanding of justice and equity.

"Things laying around as 'spare' or 'old' can make a world of difference in someone else's life."

With proven abilities in research, logical reasoning, and critical thinking, I approach every challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Whether I'm indexing legal depositions, leading international advocacy efforts, or teaching visually impaired children in India, I bring the same dedication and passion to everything I do.

VisionForAll

A youth-led initiative I founded to connect Long Island students with visually impaired children at Sharp Memorial School for the Blind in Rajpur, India. What started as a teaching trip transformed into a mission to bridge educational inequity across continents.

We collect and deliver educational supplies, ensuring that students who lack basic resources receive the tools they need to learn and thrive.
