Central Coast Youth STEM
October 2024 - Present
I co-founded Central Coast Youth STEM, an organization that helps 6th–8th grade students in Santa Barbara County explore science and engineering through hands-on projects. We design engaging activities—like building rockets from scratch and creating custom fins for stomp rockets to test how different forces affect flight—that make STEM both fun and accessible. To date, we’ve served around 400 students, many of whom share similar social, economic, or cultural challenges that I experienced. Through this work, I aim to show them that they can overcome obstacles and achieve what once felt impossible.

Additionally, I organized a field day for 80 elementary students on our campus, creating a fun and engaging experience for younger students. I also plan and run Friday student events, fostering a positive and inclusive campus environment while developing leadership, coordination, and event management skills.
Engineering Club
August 2025 - Present
As the founder of my school’s Engineering Club, I lead projects exploring a variety of engineering disciplines, from aerospace to industrial design. I organize hands-on activities and challenges that allow students to apply engineering principles creatively and collaboratively. Through the club, I foster innovation, problem-solving skills, and teamwork while inspiring peers to explore STEM fields and develop practical solutions to real-world problems.
