01 — About

I believe young people deserve a real seat at the table — and I’ve spent my high school years earning mine.

From representing youth perspectives at the United Nations to founding initiatives that serve my community, my work is driven by a simple conviction: that leadership is something you practice, not something you wait for.

I founded Dron’s Tutoring and A Deed A Day, direct educational services for students with autism through Autism Without a Voice, and serve as a UN Youth Delegate, a CIEE Global Ambassador, and a Civil Air Patrol cadet pursuing my pilot’s license. I’m trilingual, a first-chair bass clarinetist, and headed toward a future in law, politics, and diplomatic relations.

03 — What I Do

The areas I work across.

My experience spans five distinct domains — each one shaping how I lead, communicate, and serve.

/ 01

Diplomacy & Global Affairs

As a Youth Delegate with the UN Major Group for Children and Youth (UN DESA), I contribute to discussions on human rights, youth inclusion, and socioeconomic development — delivering formal interventions and representing youth perspectives in multilateral policy settings. I also serve as a CIEE Global Ambassador and Global Navigator Scholar.

Education & Tutoring

I founded Dron’s Tutoring to deliver comprehensive academic and language instruction across New York City, and I direct educational services at Autism Without a Voice — designing learning programs that meet every student where they are.

Leadership & Civic Engagement

As CEO of A Deed A Day and a high school chapter president, I lead teams, organize service initiatives, and coordinate events centered on civic engagement, leadership, and community impact — including recognition from NY State Senator Andrew Lanza.

Aviation & Aerospace

A Civil Air Patrol cadet and FAA student pilot, I’ve earned my FAA drone certificate and pursued solo flight training. Through CIEE in Toulouse, I studied aerospace engineering and aviation systems with site-based learning at the Airbus factory.
