During my time at Glenbrook South High School, I have taken a rigorous college preparatory curriculum
(all Honors or Advanced Placement [AP]) that includes Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, Biology,
Chemistry, Physics C, Astronomy, Statistics, Computer Science, Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms,
and Foundational Artificial Intelligence. My favorite subjects are math and science.
I am now aiming to pursue an undergraduate degree in computer science with the ultimate objective of
earning a PhD and becoming a university professor.
CS Honor Society
I worked with Glenbrook South High School (GBS) faculty (Mr. Brett Veitch & Mr. David Rogers) and administration to establish
a Computer Science Honor Society (CSHS) chapter at GBS.
The CSHS is a student-led organization devoted to academic excellence, leadership, and service in computing.
It is open to GBS students in grades 10–12 who are of high academic standing and meet membership requirements,
CSHS offers amazing opportunities including coding workshops, guest-speaker seminars, visits to universities,
tech companies, and national labs, plus hands-on community service projects. The GBS student-run newspaper, The Oracle,
wrote an article on the GBS CSHS titled "Giving Back with Tech".
Medical Chapter Club
Driven by a passion for discovering the intersection of STEM and medicine, I serve as President of the Medical Chapter Club at
Glenbrook South. In this role, I’ve worked to transform the club into a dynamic community where students can explore the future of
healthcare through science, technology, and innovation. I organize and lead meetings that feature accomplished guest speakers—from
physicians and researchers to medical students—who share firsthand insights into their fields. Beyond events, I focus on expanding
the club’s reach by developing new initiatives, strengthening collaboration across departments, and inspiring younger students to
engage with medicine early on. My goal is to create an environment where curiosity meets opportunity, and every member feels empowered
to explore the possibilities of a career in medicine and STEM. For more information,

Teaching Computer Science to young students ages 8 to 14
I’ve been collaborating with the Glenview Public Library (GPL) to develop a new series of introductory
computer science and technology courses designed for students ages 8 to 14. The goal is to create engaging, hands-on lessons that introduce
young learners to fundamental programming and problem-solving concepts in a fun and accessible way. These classes will be offered free of
charge through the Youth Services Department at GPL, ensuring that every student—regardless of background—can explore the world of coding.
Originally planned for the summer of 2025, the launch was postponed to summer 2026 to allow for better scheduling and expanded content
development. While the delay presents a challenge, it also provides more time to refine the curriculum, gather feedback from educators,
and ensure the program’s long-term success.
The four courses I have designed so far are:
In the summer of 2025, I did participate in Oakton College's AI and Robotics Camp as a paid teaching assistant.
At this campe, students explored science, technology, engineering, art and math through a number of engaging and interactive experiences.
Young students had fun designing Minecraft characters and objects, learned to code in HTML and JavaScript,
created virtual worlds and expanded their knowledge of science and engineering.
