Collaborated with an academic mentor to analyze influential texts and author a final paper published on the Teagle Humanities Website and in its printed journal. The paper, examining the Attention Economy with a focus on TikTok's impact on teenagers, explores themes from Sigmund Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents" and James Williams' "Stand Out of Our Light."

Selected by the NY State Department of Education as one of two delegates in the state to represent New York in Washington, DC.

Selected as one of ten high school students for an academic enrichment program, I had the unique opportunity to develop as a future leader through a culturally immersive curriculum and an all-expenses-paid international study tour in Japan.
