About me

Growing up between a rural small town in Connecticut and Sao Paulo, Brazil, I become intensely curious about the economic and social changes that shaped my life. I watched as the growth of the internet and political polarization rapidly transformed western democracy and my local community. A fire was ignited in me for understanding how technology impacts human agency and open choice. Today, I am a student at Cornell University studying the intersection of public policy, philosophy, economics, and Artificial Intelligence.

Curiosity drives my life. This principle has allowed me to form an electrically unique background. I came up through an urban, low-income STEM magnet school, then threw myself into one of the most rigorous liberal arts programs in the country at Boston College. I've researched AI policy in Europe, run a refugee shelter on the US-Mexico border, and now study at Cornell University as the first in my family to attend college.

I've been honored as a Prudential Emerging Visionary, 2025 Coca-Cola Scholar, Ashoka Young Changemaker, and one of America’s Top 100 Students by Disney. My work has been featured in Times Square 2x and has been shown in the Financial Times, Nasdaq, and has been interviewed on Fox News.
