Leadership
Rooms I help run.
USACS Tech, RAISE, GMS Venture Lab, Rutgers DSC Competition, and the technical and musical sections before them. Rooms built so students leave with repos, demos, and validated MVPs, things that didn't exist when they walked in, and enough context to keep building.
The standard for a room
Why the brain
Three names for one brain.
I live with ADHD, OCD, and an anxiety disorder, severe. It shapes my days: how I work, what I can hold in my head at once, and what it costs to hold it.
Those three names are constructs. People built them to sort a brain nobody has finished understanding, and the categories blur at the edges far more than the words admit. I use them because they are useful, not because I think they are the whole truth. Most of what I actually live in is the gray area between them.
That, plus a real interest in how any of it works, is why I joined Grey Matter Society. I sit on the board and co-designed the inaugural Venture Lab, a four-week health-tech accelerator that took eight student teams from idea validation to MVP, monetization, and a final demo.
The interest was never academic. I came to it the long way.
