A Little About Me

I'm a student at Adelphi University where I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Artificial Intelligence.

I'm a very passionate and disciplined person. Every day (except Saturdays) I wake up at 5:30am to start my day early. I like to engage in deep focus sessions whether it's to study or build a project of my own, and am always looking to optimize my performance.

I genuinely believe I can change the world for the better, and that belief drives my pursuit of excellence.

Community

AI Society

In my first year at Adelphi University, I founded the Adelphi AI Society with my best friends and currently serve as its president. We noticed a gap on campus, no community where students could explore AI together, and decided to build one.

Our mission is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the age of AI. Through a strong social media presence and engaging meetings and events, our team has built this into one of the best clubs on campus.
