Leadership and Extracurriculars

Double Discovery Center Residential Coordinator

Last summer, I worked as a Residential Coordinator at the Double Discovery Center at Columbia University, where I helped run the center's Summer Academy. I prepared first-generation students from low income and under-resourced communities with the skills necessary to succeed in a college environment, and I ensured the well-being and safety of all students. I also facilitated communication among all Summer Academy stakeholders including students and their families, DDC staff, and Columbia staff. The Summer Academy was a big success, and I am proud to have helped provide the students with a fulfilling and rewarding pre-college experience.

Lacrosse

I am proud to be captain and treasurer of the Columbia Men's Lacrosse club, an organization I have been playing with since freshman year. As captain I have helped grow the team from an loosely organized group of players to a cohesive, successful team, and I am extremely proud of all that we have accomplished. Last season, I led the team to victory at the Ivy League Club Tournament, and I am eagerly looking forward to building upon our success this year.

Rugby

In the spring of 2024, I played my first game of rugby. I was drawn to the game by the intensity, teamwork, and comraderie I saw in the Columbia Men's Rugby Club, and I have been an active memeber since. In my time with the team, I've learned how to fight tough, think clearly in high-intensity situations, and get the job done. I only wish I'd discovered the club earlier, and I'm excited to play with the team this season in our hunt for the playoffs.
