As a 17-year-old high school senior, I am deeply passionate about the convergence of technology, innovation, and leadership. I created and host the Exponential Edge Podcast, where I've had the opportunity to interview over 30 industry leaders, including CEOs, VCs, and thought leaders, exploring emerging technologies and the future of various industries. My curiosity and determination inspired me to write a book, Exponential Edge: Navigating the Future with Insights from 30 Visionaries, which distills the wisdom from these conversations to help students and professionals navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and business.In addition to my work in podcasting and writing, I founded Sec Armor, a cybersecurity startup focused on protecting small businesses and local establishments from cybersecurity attacks. This initiative stems from our commitment to protecting "Main Street" rather than "Wall Street," using students from our high school cybersecurity club.I am currently engaged in a Data Science summer internship on a UN Project analyzing high risk pregnancies in rural regions. Last year, I also completed a Product Management internship in Robotics and MedTech, gaining hands-on experience in healthcare technology and robotics innovation.My journey has also been shaped by my experiences as a tri-sport varsity athlete, a musician with the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra, and a dedicated student. I believe in resilience, adaptability, and the power of connections, and I strive to build meaningful relationships and contribute positively to the communities I'm part of.
