I am an incoming freshman at MIT with experience in US Math Olympiads (USA IMO TST, USAMO, AMM), Coding Olympiads (USACO), and Physics (USAPhO). Outside of academics, I love spending time outdoors with friends. Growing up in the PNW, I enjoyed plenty of biking, hiking, kayaking, and skiing throughout the year.

Research and Job Experience
Since March 2025

Founder/CEO, MOPDash

In response to complaints about food, I founded a low-cost meal delivery service for all campers and staff to use at the 2025 Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOP). I recruited 13 MOP students who would run to nearby restaurants and make deliveries through an ordering system I designed using a Discord bot. We ran 49 orders in 3 weeks worth nearly $1000 in total, and delivered over 15 meal times

Researcher, Non-Trivial Research Program

Developed a research project on the efficacy of various policies of AI use in education. Through literary review, designed an 8-week research plan and completed the research proposal

Leadership, Coaching, and Volunteering
Since 2022 in the Greater Seattle Area

Founder / Head Coach, BASIS Competitive Coding Club

I wrote lecture notes, led live lectures, ran placement test, organized clubwide events (e.g. game theory Halloween activity), and assisted students with questions outside of classes. Club membership grew from 13 to 28 students. Six students advanced to USACO Silver and one to USACO Gold

Coach → Advisor, Tyee Competition Math Club

In addition to the usual lecture notes and live lectures, also wrote problems for placement test, MathCounts school selection test, and intramural contest

President, Newport Math Club

Team leader, problem writer, test solver, and test coordinator for the Knights of Pi Tournament (KPMT)
Design and lead meetings for club members ranging from lectures to group activities
