In addition to my academic pursuits, I am a member of the Haverford Women's Lacrosse Team (#1). Being part of this team means more than just playing a sport - it embodies a culture of commitment, support, and leadership, all grounded in a shared passion for lacrosse. Through this experience, l've developed resilience, teamwork, and the ability to perform under pressure - skills that extend far beyond the field. Over the past three years, HCWL has made two NCAA appearances, ranked among the top 25 in Division three, and is constantly 'raising the bar', our motto for the 2025 Spring season. Extending beyond Haverford, I also represent Wales Women's Lacrosse - digging into my Welsh heritage. I have represented the team as Captain in the 2019 Peterborough Festival Team, and have since helped lead Wales Lacrosse to many international appearances including Italy in 2022, Prague in 2023, and Boston in 2025, with hopes to continue this trend into the 2026 Tokyo World Cup.
I've always loved to travel, and I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to do so - there's something about being in a new place that resets my perspective and makes life feel a little bigger. Whether it's skiing or snowboarding in Colorado, sandboarding in the deserts of the UAE, or just spending time with friends in Punta Cana after a semester of lacrosse, these experiences have stuck with me.
Some of my favorite memories are tied to the places I've been - standing on top floor of the Burj Khalifa, catching my breath in the fresh air around Lake Tahoe, or laughing way too hard on late-night adventures with friends.
Travel pushes me out of my comfort zone, teaches me to slow down, and reminds me that there's always more to see, try, and learn - and I hope to keep chasing that feeling whereever I go next.
Obviously, I'm no doctor, nor am I on track to be one, but oftentimes I think I could be an expert of eyes. A few years ago, I woke up completely blind in my right eye. This is medically regarded as a corneal ulcer developing into Keratoconus. Since that moment, it has profoundly shaped how I see the world - both literally and figuratively. Although I have regained some of my vision since, navigating life with limited vision has challenged me to think critically, adapt quickly, and find creative, structured solutions to everyday problems. It's a big part of why I was drawn to physics, systems engineering, and data architecture - fields that demand clarity, precision, and curiosity. Rather than being a limitation, my condition has sharpened my attention to detail, fueled my perseverance, and made me especially aware of the importance of accessibility in sports, technology and communication. It’s part of what drives my interest in building tools and systems that empower people. Although this experience was inexplicable, there are two main lessons learned: 1. Seeing with only one eye (which is seemingly not that difficult because you have another) is, in fact, hard. 2. Seize every opportunity - take nothing for granted.
