Taking the Stage

From international science competitions to civic retreats and Model UN committees — advocating for science, equity, and evidence-based policy at every level. Open to speaking opportunities.

Past & Present

Conference Timeline

Model United Nations & Policy

OSU Collegiate Council on World Affairs

As a member of Ohio State's Model UN team through the Collegiate Council on World Affairs (CCWA), I compete in collegiate-level MUN conferences — researching complex global issues, drafting policy positions, and negotiating multilateral resolutions in committee.

My work in MUN sits alongside my engineering and research training: I'm interested not just in building technical solutions, but in the policy architecture that determines whether those solutions reach the people who need them.
