ABOUT

I'm a high school senior based in New York City with a passion for policy, politics, international relations, and law. I’m equally drawn to the power of data, civic engagement, and languages, and I love spending my time in the arts, athletics, and connecting with new people. I'm always looking for ways to connect big ideas with real-world impact.

JUDICIAL INTERN for magistrate judges Ona Wang & Valerie Figueredo

As a judicial intern in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, I had the opportunity to work closely with two incredible federal magistrate judges. I conducted legal research, observed court proceedings, and gained firsthand insight into the judicial process at one of the nation’s most influential courts.

Student Government: Advocate, Class president, & Senator

As an intern at the Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan to the United Nations, I’ve supported preparations for General Assembly sessions, assisted with speech editing for senior diplomats, contributed to cultural diplomacy efforts, and monitored key developments in international policy and multilateral negotiations. This experience has given me a front-row seat to international diplomacy and deepened my understanding of global governance, soft power, and the role of international law in shaping the world stage.

Swim

I’ve been part of the Hunter College High School Girls Varsity Swim Team since 9th grade — starting out as team manager and now in the running for Team Captain. My favorite strokes are breaststroke and freestyle, and I train five mornings a week at 6am. It’s a major commitment, but super rewarding — especially being part of one of the top 8 teams in NYC.

CREW

Swim

Since 9th grade, I’ve rowed with City Island Rowing, training six days a week on the Varsity team. Rowing has taught me how to push through limits, work as one with everyone in the boat, and stay grounded through even the toughest pieces. It’s one of the most demanding, yet empowering, parts of my life.

SURF

Swim

SURF

I fell in love with surfing on the California coast (San Onofre, Huntington Beach, and more), and this summer, I turned that passion into purpose by teaching others. As a surf instructor with SurfsUpNY at Rockaway Beach, I worked with kids and adults alike, helping them overcome fear, master the basics, and build confidence in the ocean.
