Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a senior at Gettysburg College majoring in Computer Science with minors in Mathematics and Data Science. I am passionate about software development and enjoy using code to solve real-world problems.
As a Residential Coordinator, I support a community of over 30 first-year students while supervising and mentoring a team of six Residential Assistants. Through regular one-on-one meetings with both residents and staff, I monitor community dynamics, address concerns, and ensure my team has the resources needed to support their communities effectively. I also serve as a liaison between my staff and professional Residential Life leadership, collaborating on student support and staff development initiatives.
Give campus tours to prospective and new students and their families, showing them around and answering any questions they might have about the college and student life at Gettysburg.
Work as an International Student Ambassador and conduct one-on-one chats with prospective international students and actively participate in student panels and informational sessions.
Selected as one of only 8 seniors for the competitive Eisenhower Institute Undergraduate Fellows program at Gettysburg College. Working with Professor Ryan Kerney, I am exploring this year's theme "The Policies of Science and Innovation," focusing on how government, universities, and companies decide where to invest in scientific research and development. Through weekly meetings and policy research, I am developing leadership skills while creating programming for both campus and Washington, D.C. The fellowship includes opportunities to network with government officials, meet with authors and executives from the State Department and National Security Council, and participate in an international trip in January 2026. This program is giving me hands-on experience in policy analysis and leadership development in the science and innovation space.
Led a remote strategic project to enhance online engagement and donor attraction, utilizing research and data analytics to optimize website interactions through direct phone calls, surveys and emails. Developed recommendations to improve user experience and presented insights to the Communications team.
I operated a small-scale baking business, offering a variety of homemade products such as cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies. In addition to managing day-to-day operations, I organized weekly food drives, donating a portion of the proceeds to help the underprivileged communities. This experience has enhanced my skills in working under pressure and ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction.
