I am 20 years old and from New Jersey. Growing up, I was always fascinated by math and science and sought to learn more and more. During middle school, I studied for and took the entrance exam for the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, more commonly referred to as MATES. As a STEM-focused public school located in Manahawkin, New Jersey, I had the amazing opportunity of being accepted and attending for the next four years. During my time at MATES, I participated in a wide range of extracurricular and research opportunities. Graduating as valedictorian of my class, I then continued my journey to Harvard University. As a current undergraduate rising junior, I continue to meet new people and take challenging classes that resonate with my childhood wonders. A comprehensive list of the relevant things I have participated in or worked on can be found throughout this website. Below, I list some of the organizations I am currently a part of and some of the exciting classes I have taken.
Skilled in R with complex data analysis techniques. Utilizes R as main programming language, using it almost everyday for my ECON 50 and Math 23a/23c courses. Able to conduct critical mathematical techniques such as Fourier analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, random forests, Principal Component Analysis, permutation tests, and probability distributions. Can produce complex visualizations regarding geometry, topology, or data graphs.
Skilled in Python with analyzing data, coding web page functionalities, machine learning, conducting simulations, and web scraping. Having utilized Python for a wide array of projects and classes (such as Global Warming Science 101 and CS50), my diverse background allows me to use Python in a multi-faceted way. Using libraries such as oTree or Tensorflow in IDEs such as Jupyter Notebook and PyCharm allows me to tackle many problems.
Proficient in Stata for statistical analyses and machine learning, MATLAB for task design and implementation, Javascript for web functionality, Swift for IOS mobile application development, SQL for data organization and frameworks, ArcGIS for plot visualization and data management, Java for robotics movement and control, and C# for Unity game development, coding, and modeling.
Basic knowledge of C from CS50 and creating functional and useful programs for data analysis and organization, C++ for coding an Arduino motor controller to perform specific functions, and VBA Excel Macros for creating a GUI for data storage and retrieval.
I am currently working with a research group at Northeastern University, led by Dr. Maiya Geddes to analyze the effects of affirmational messaging on older sedentary adult motivation and physical activity. Using fMRI scans and daily digital messaging, we will be observing the effectiveness of these methods for clinical use. I am responsible for helping create the fMRI tasks in PsychoPy and designing and creating the daily messaging system using Python, HTML, and oTree.
As Secretary of the Harvard College International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team, I work on our project to compete at the annual iGEM competition. Utilizing a variety of laboratory and mathematical techniques, we work to innovate new solutions to problems using synthetic biology. Our project involved mathematically modeling a DNA origami structure in order to deliver specific antibodies for zoonotic viruses, as well as using machine learning to optimize mRNA sequences for SARS-CoV-2 neutralization.
On the Harvard Open Data Project (HODP) team, we work to make data regarding Harvard University open source and easily accessible to anyone. I work on annual data analysis projects using R and Python, and we publish monthly articles regarding new relationships or studies conducted by HODP. I recently worked on a project observing the statistical distribution of students who cross-register to Harvard from other institutions, as well as which course graduate students take at Harvard College.
