Projects

🏆 Science Fair Winner 🏆

Earth & Space Science Research

3rd place winner in the Jersey Shore Science Fair and the Deleware Valley Science Fair for a project making a correlation between increasing surface temperatures and the albedo of common building materials.

Passion Project

Autonomously-Controlled RC Plane for Agricultural Surveyal

Created a 5ft working RC plane out of foam board and soldered electronics based on the Storch aircraft. Addiitonally, I created a machine learning model based on the YOLO-v8 architecture, that takes in footage from a drone/plane and can highlight objects on the surface (Fire, weeds, animals, humans, etc.)

🌎 Governor's STEM Scholars

Volunteering

One of my favorite things to do is help my community in any way that I can. I am a mathematics and English tutor for the nonprofit learn to be, where I create lesson plans and teach students who can not recieve external help otherwise. Additionally I have been part of BBBS (Big Brothers Big Sisters) an organization focused on helping the underprivileged students in Long Branch, New Jersey. Additionally, I am a board member of Journey-to-med, a program that aims to help students that plan on applying to medical school or are simply interested in STEM.
