(more) about me.
Since I was 13, I have spoken to over 100,000 people at international conferences, partnering with multi-billion dollar companies like Microsoft, Ebay, Cisco, and Walmart. As the Chief STEAM Advisor of the Girls Leadership Academy Meetup, an organization that brings women tech leaders together to inspire girls in tech and business, I have mentored over 1,000 girls aged 8-12 from various socioeconomic backgrounds all over the world, including Romania, Kenya, the UK, India, Poland, the Philipines, and more.
As an oil painter, I founded my own online art gallery as a platform to share and sell my artwork to raise funds for social reform — so far, I have helped raise more than $50,000. My work has been featured on Artists for Peace, Stone Soup, and Ellen & Cheerio's “One Million Acts of Good.”
In my free time, I love to write, read, hike, and scuba dive!
I am currently an undergraduate at Stanford studying math & computer science with minors in political science and biology. My research interests include number theory, tech policy, computational ecology, game theory, and ML for social impact, specifically to combat systemic inequity.
Nicknamed the "Human Calculator" after competing on the NBC National TV show "Genius Junior" hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, I'm honored to have since been featured by PBS NOVA, named a Davidson Fellows Laureate, Global Child Prodigy, Templeton Spirit of Ramanujan Fellow, and World Science Scholar for my work in mathematics. Thus far, I have authored/co-authored six number theory publications in peer-reviewed journals, which you can find here.
I created the column Gems in STEM, in which I publish on a wide range of math topics, from the liar’s paradox and quantum dots to tessellations and fractals, to make STEM more accessible for all audiences. Through published newspapers and Medium, my column reaches over 80k people and was awarded the Strogatz Prize for Math Communication for its global impact.
