My love for science was sparked from an early age. From reading books about all the sciences to innovative projects in elementary school, my passion for STEM and learning was always growing. After entering high school, I learned of the opportunities that students have to start making real-world impact, and apply their knowledge. However, I quickly noticed how inaccessible this can be. Following this, I was inspired to start HerCatalyst with my co-founders. Through this organization, we hope to bring opportunities (such as conferences!) to girls everywhere, making professional experiences, role models, and networking opportunities accessible to everyone.  I truly believe that we can cultivate a community of like-minded people, work to close the gender gap in STEM, and inspire the future.

When not working in STEM, I like to travel, read, bake, and make memories.

From the time I was introduced to investigation and experimental techniques in elementary school, science has been one of my favorite subjects. Harnessing this early passion, I was inspired to start this organization when I realized that many girls struggle to find accessible opportunities to explore their interests. Through HerCatalyst, I aim to empower women and girls to pursue ideas they are truly passionate about and provide them with the means for professional growth. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, I hope to inspire others to achieve their goals. I firmly believe that working together to uplift others can bring about tangible change in STEM fields, cultivating a future where innovation and equity thrive.

In my free time, I enjoy conducting independent research, playing the violin, piano, and soccer, and spending quality time with my friends.

When I was introduced to hands-on engineering projects,  I knew I had found my passion. This early exposure to the world of science and technology ignited a deep curiosity within me, and I began to explore various fields, including software development. Recognizing that many girls and young women lack accessible opportunities to explore these interests. With HerCatalyst, I aim to empower women and girls to pursue ideas they are truly passionate about and provide them with the means for professional growth in robotics and other STEM fields. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, I hope to inspire others to achieve their goals. I firmly believe that working together to uplift others can bring about tangible change, cultivating a future where innovation and equity thrive.

In my free time, I enjoy conducting independent research, building and programming robots, and enjoying life to the fullest extent.
