About

I am a Presidential Scholar and Honors Program student at Florida State University, pursuing a B.S. in Public Health and Risk Management and Insurance on the pre-law track. I plan to complete a master’s degree in risk management and insurance within four years and then attend law school.

My interests sit where health, risk, policy, and technology meet. In high school, I co-developed an AI system to reduce food waste, built a guest-tracking system for a community food pantry, and earned a Kansas state championship and a DECA first-place title. Today, I assist with research on how AI provenance labels shape what people believe.
