ABOUT ME

I'm a college graduate who doesn't fit neatly into one box — and I love that. From competitive running and scuba diving to founding a 3D avatar AI company, from leading an Eco Club to winning board-game tournaments, my life is one big exploration.

I believe awareness is good, but advocacy takes things to the next level. That philosophy drives everything I do — whether it's speaking at competitions, building tech products, or picking up plastic off a beach.

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. 🌊
