a map that interacts with you.
This is my capstone project for Fab Academy. So many late nights went into this project, and I loved the way it turned out. Navimap is an interactive, continent-naming touch map that allows the user to look at pictures of my high school's sister schools across the globe on a separate interface. Watch this video to see the parts that go into it and a clip of it working!
a web app that helps improve treatment outcomes for chemotherapy patients.
This is a web app startup I made in a team of 5 at the MIT LaunchX summer camp. We went through the entire process of beginning a startup– I was a "Builder" on the team, designing the wireframes of the app, designing it, and prototyping it. Remedium is a web app that allows users to track chemotherapy side effect data and communicate it with doctors. Watch this video to get an understanding of how it works!
Projects
I love to build and create things. Here are some of my creative endeavors, ranging from simple projects made for fun to gadgets made to solve daily inconveniences to well-integrated products made to solve real world problems.

For Fun Favorites
Here's a timeline of a few of my favorite projects I've worked on.
​
look at your phone the way you want.
In my Engineering Methods and Design 1 class, we had to create something using our 3D printer. I had previously used a Popsocket as a phone stand, but I wanted to a) replace the Popsocket with a phone wallet for personal preference and b) be able to change the degree at which the phone stood. This was my solution! It took a long time, but I was proud of the way it came out.
an Android app that combats text neck among our generation of youth.
This is an app I developed for the 2021 HackMIT Blueprint hackathon on the Android app dev track. It was the first mobile app I'd ever developed (I worked mainly on backend development and backend-to-frontend communication), and I had such a fun time doing so! It uses the phone's pitch and roll to encourage the user to adjust their posture; I wanted to help solve this [pretty painful!] issue that I and so many of my friends face on a daily basis. Here's a video of my teammate explaining its functionality!
a music box made so that dementia patients can feel more comfortable.
This was my final project for my Honors Introduction to Bioengineering course. It is a music box that plays music familiar to people who listen to it, designed especially for people with dementia. I'm really happy I got to make something to help facilitate life with dementia; big thank you to Makers Making Change for listing the project on their website and to Ross Wesley Porter for his outline of the project. Here's a video of it working!
a Chinese lantern-inspired carbon monoxide sensor.
This was my senior capstone project for senior engineering course. It is a carbon monoxide sensor that shines different colors of light depending on the concentration of carbon monoxide around it. Inspired by a Chinese lantern, it has designs of a dragon (playing on the concept of deng, meaning light, and long, meaning dragon, to create deng long, meaning lantern. I really enjoyed the process of making the project. Here's a video of it working!
Beyond Projects
a youth-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides general health goods and services like first aid materials to those in need so they can focus on thriving and not only surviving.
Aid First is a nonprofit organization I co-founded two years ago. Since then, we have raised and donated thousands of dollars and general health materials to local homeless shelters and youth crisis centers. Click on the orange title to see the website I created!
a youth-led community organization that works to create an inclusive, collaborative, and judgement-free space for girls in engineering where they feel comfortable to explore technology that solves problems.
sheMakes is a community effort I started in early 2021. There had been a chronic problem at Charlotte Latin School: each engineering class only had a few girls compared to tens of boys. In middle school, there were almost two classes of girls interested in engineering; but by the time they got to high school, only a few of them actually continued pursuing their interest. sheMakes holds makeathons that emphasize collaboration and community over competition where students make and complete their own projects, ultimately with the goal of getting more girls to enroll in high school engineering courses.
