I’m a senior at Moorestown High School with a deep passion for aerospace research.
Last summer, I completed the NASA STEM Enhancement in Earth Science internship, launching high-altitude balloons over Texas to help predict floods. I have also accumulated 75 hours of flying time and plan to complete my private pilot license before I graduate from high school.
When I'm not studying or flying, I contribute my time to the Civil Air Patrol in several leadership roles, serving the cadets both in my squadron and throughout the State of New Jersey. And if I am not in my squadron, you will find me in the Teen Aviation hanger building an actual RV-12 aircraft.
I co-edit my school's literary magazine, co-chair the Model UN club, and inspire other students about aerospace opportunities. I also play violin, piano, and harp, and if there is any time left, I bury myself in a book. The 1200+ books I have read (who’s counting) have not yet helped me understand why the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything is 42!
Amongst all this, I keep the community at my heart and have volunteerd 700+ hours since Grade 9.

I started flying in the summer of 2021. I have now 75+ hours of solo and dual flight time, including cross-country flights in Cessna 152. I plan to obtain my private pilot license in Spring 2026.

I have been a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Cadet since 2021, currently holding the rank of C/Lt Col. I have risen through the ranks to serve as the Cadet Commander of my squadron (The Air Victory Squadron).

Aircraft (RV12) Build Program
I joined the first cohort of the Teen Aviation of New Jersey to build a two-seater RV-12 aircraft. Every Saturday, we spend about 5 hours working on different parts of plane building under the supervision of adult volunteers.
I have read more than 1200 books. I have compiled a list of my more recent reads (about 1000 books) in this google doc.
I love to meet visit new places and make new friends, and I am lucky to have the opportunity to travel around the world.
This page has a random assortment of my other interests and activities, both within and outside of the school.
