Extracurriculars
Work
For the past 2 years, I have regularly worked at the Kumon Learning Center in Shrewsbury. In this role, I assist with grading student assignments, determining students’ workloads based on their progress, and providing one-on-one support to students who have questions or need additional help with their work. This experience has allowed me to develop strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly.
I also work in marketing for an esports organization called Trinity Network, formerly known as WarSeekers, where I help promote the brand, design and create products, and support community engagement.
Math Team
This year, I joined the Math Team at the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science, where we regularly meet to solve challenging mathematical problems. We compete in the Worcester County Mathematics League or WOCOMAL.
Physics Club
During B Term I joined the Physics Club which met after schools to learn new physics concepts. On top of this, the club helped with practice questions from the F = ma exam that were on the same topics as those that we were covering in class. In one of our meetings, we were able to tour two physics labs on WPI campus.
CyberPatriots
I also joined CyberPatriot, which is a cybersecurity competition ran by the Air & Space Forces Association where teams work to secure and harden virtual operating systems by identifying vulnerabilities, configuring system settings, and following security best practices. The team that I was a part of was able to qualify for the Gold Tier’s Semifinals Round and got the 1st Place Gold Tier Award for Massachusetts.
Community Service
During my sophomore year, I was actively involved in community outreach through the Chemistry Club at Shrewsbury High School. As part of our initiative, we visited local elementary schools to hold engaging, hands-on chemistry experiments with fourth-grade students. Our goal was to spark curiosity and foster an early interest in science by making chemistry fun, accessible, and interactive. Some of the events I helped run included having the children create slime, having them make and use invisible ink, and having them color bookmarks using shaving cream.
Over the summer, I volunteered at Sherwood Middle School, assisting with their summer enrichment programs. During a two-week span, I helped supervise students and supported teachers by preparing materials, setting up activities, and offering help during instruction. I was involved in four different enrichment camps, each running for four days with three-hour sessions. In one camp, I helped students design and create their own board games; in another, I assisted in teaching them how to crochet. I also participated in a competition-based camp where I served as a judge and scorekeeper, and in a public speaking camp, I supported students by offering examples and guidance on both prepared and impromptu speeches.
