Girls Technovation
As a Technical leader, I advised peers and mentored middle school teams with the technical and coding aspects of developing the app for the Technovation Challenge. Last year, we created an app to educate the youth about the importance of climate change, mental health, and good nutrition by allowing the user to input data about their daily life and complete tasks to learn more about how to protect the environment

Key Club Volunteering
With a passion for helping my community, I have marketed for numerous fundraisers, service projects, drives, and volunteering opportunities hosted by my school and in conjunction with the Kiwanis Club and other local Key Clubs part of our division and district. The club has raised 5k+ for organizations like PTP (Pediatric Trauma Program) and UNICEF while hosting drives or service projects for children with special needs, senior citizens, and veterans. Additionally, I have helped establish the club’s online presence, build the club's social media platforms to spread awareness for these causes, and create media to promote the club

Guitarist/Perfromer
I have been playing classical guitar since age 4 using the Suzuki method. Over the years, I've performed in multiple recitals and ensemble groups, and had the opportunity to open for professional classical guitarists ‘Dieter Hennings’. These experiences have taught me discipline, teamwork, and how to perform confidently in front of audiences. Music has been a constant part of my life and has shaped how I approach challenges and express creativity.

AI Research
October 2024-present
Working under the mentorship of the Algoverse team on real-world AI research, I recently co-wrote a research paper, "DecepBench: Benchmarking Multimodal Deception Detection," about creating a benchmark for generalized deception detection on the DOLOS dataset, which has been accepted to three conferences: top NLP conference ACL for the SiCon and GEM workshops and Philadelphia conference MASC-SLL. Current approaches to deception detection are limited by the lack of generalizable and interpretable benchmarks built on diverse datasets. To address this gap, we introduced DecepBench, a comprehensive and robust benchmark for multimodal deception detection. I am the person presenting this research at ACL in Vienna, Austria.
