My first name is Morris, but I go by one of my middle names, Will. I was graduated from the Belmont Hill School and am now a junior in the Harvard College class of 2026 pursuing a joint honors concentration in History and East Asian Studies and a secondary concentration in Statistics and Data Science.
I am a member of the Harvard International Relations Council, functioning as a Crisis Director for both the Harvard National Model UN for university students and the Harvard Model UN for high school students.In the summer of 2024, I attended Seoul National University with the support of a generous academic and travel grant awarded by Harvard's Korea Institute, which allowed me to study various topics in East Asian histories and cultures.I was chosen as a Mahindra Scholar in 2023, a Harvard initiative that selects a small group of twelve sophomores—whether pursuing a humanities concentration or bound for degrees in social science, science, engineering, or mathematics—for a program exploring how humanistic thought and action impact the larger world.
Earlier in 2023, Harvard named me a Mindich Fellow. This fellowship supported my work as Global Education Fellow at the United Nations Association of Greater Boston, where I was part of the team implementing the association’s 2023 Summer Institute in Global Leadership. Immediately before college, I concluded a two-year research assistantship at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I used data science methods to investigate the clinical and translational epidemiology of cancer. 

My many other interests include travel, sailing, and reading widely, with current fascinations with the histories and mythologies of world cultures in antiquity as well as wuxia and epic fantasy novels. I am told that I have a dry sense of humor, useful for writing (or reading) a profile like this.
