Thrilled to share that my review on the primate-specific long noncoding RNA CHROMR is featured as the June 2025 cover story in the journal 𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘕𝘈.

This June, I took on a new challenge for my third NYLT course: trading in my instructor patch for a camera and joining our amazing Photo Corps. It was a privilege to capture the energy, teamwork, and personal growth that define this program. Can’t wait to rejoin the instructor team in August!

I could not be prouder to announce that my Eagle Scout Service Project is complete. I want to thank my team of dedicated volunteers for their support as we constructed and installed three bleeding control stations in the Westfield parks. I also had the opportunity to lead a Stop The Bleed certification course in our town alongside trauma surgeon and Cranford mayor Dr. Terrence Curran to ensure our community members have both the tools and the experience to save a life!

This year, I have been selected to serve as an Editor-In-Chief for Westfield High School’s Hi’s Eye, one of the nation’s few independent, completely uncensored school newspapers. As EIC, I am responsible for creating and realizing our fantastic editorial team’s vision for each edition, and ensuring the highest journalistic standard is reached to represent the diversity of student perspectives across news, features, opinion, sports, and the arts.
