About Me

I grew up in Springdale, Arkansas where I lived with my two parents and three brothers. I attended the Don Tyson School of Innovation for high school. During this time, I developed a passion for STEM, especially computer science and robotics. I gained this passion through competitive robotics and programming. I was a lead and founding member of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team 9879 Root Negative One. Throughout my five years on the team, I lead the team to win four state championships, and the FTC World Championship. Additionally, I won the 2020 Arkansas All-State Coding Competition and earned the FTC 2019 Dean's List Award.

My extra-curricular activities have continued throughout college. I am currently a Co-President of FIRST at Rice a club that mentors and serves underprivileged and underrepresented teams in the Houston area. As Co-President I am in charge of planning and managing events, leading programming workshops, designing course material, and managing club funds. In 2022, I was one of the three directors for HackRice 12. As directors, we were in charge of organizing and managing all aspects of the event. I have also served as a mentor for RemixCS, teaching high school students about key computer science concepts.

In my free time I like to play video games, build programming projects, watch formula one, and play basketball/tennis!
