Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States
I'm an incoming freshman at Duke University, planning to major in electrical and computer engineering. I'm passionate about mobility engineering and its intersection with public policy, with hands-on research experience in autonomous systems. I recently worked in the NC State University Yoon Robotics Lab, where I helped design an autonomous exploration algorithm using Python and ROS2. The algorithm also created a website for the user to send commands to the vehicle and check its progress. Along with research, I am deeply involved in leadership and service: I served as Student Government President, Mu Alpha Theta Vice President, and I am a physics and math tutor.
Elected Student Government President for the 2025–2026 school year Collaborated with administration to represent student interests and plan school-wide events Led bi-weekly presentations for the upper school highlighting events and student achievements Coordinated programs with the Black Student Union, including a Black History Month initiative
Tutored students in advanced math and physics through 1-on-1 and group sessions Assisted middle school Algebra I classes during weekly office hours Organized academic enrichment events, including Pi Day programming
Designed an autonomous exploration algorithm using Python and ROS2 for robotic mapping and navigation Evaluated Bluetooth Low Energy beacons as a homing mechanism for autonomous robots Contributed to a larger project focused on assistive robotic systems for powered wheelchair users
