Ambassador at Emory University

He/him/his

Class of 2026

Hometown: Edison, NJ

Major: Chemistry

Minor: Mathematics


My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

finding new places to eat and going thrifting for vintage sweaters in Little Five Points!

What has been your most impactful class?

MATH 250 for sure. It's designed for math majors, delving into abstract mathematics and proof-writing. It was initially my backup choice and I felt nervous about it because it diverges from the computational nature of courses like Calculus. This class was definitely challenging and had me questioning if I should be pursuing higher level math at some points but I can confidently say it has provided me with a new perspective to approach math!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Dinner with 12 Strangers is incredibly underrated! Not only do you get the opportunity to eat delicious food, but you also get to engage in networking with Emory alumni and interact with Emory students you would have never crossed paths with otherwise. Every dinner is so different but I remember leaving each one feeling deeply inspired by everyone’s stories!

On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

singing at choir rehearsal, studying for chemistry in the library, or making food in my dorm at midnight.
