About

I'm a student at Greenwich High School, Class of 2027. I co-founded and lead Kids Cancer Foundation, a global 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports children with cancer through hospital donations, awareness, and research, now operating across 27 states and 16 countries.

Alongside the foundation, I do biomedical research in Yale's Navaratnam Lab, co-founded the AI agtech startup Phyllox, and compete as a nationally ranked debater. Whether it's science, advocacy, or the debate stage, I care about using rigor and heart to make a real difference for other people.
