BEFORE MYFIRST QUESTION,

Beatkeepers Collective

Founder & President

I lead students in promoting medical emergency preparedness through CPR, AED, and first aid workshops in local schools. We work to bring these skills into school curricula and raise funds for AEDs and other lifesaving equipment. With local organizations, we also conduct free medical checkups in underserved communities.

• Began as my 2024 MYP project, teaching CPR and AED awareness to five students at school, before expanding beyond the BSJ community.
• Built Town Rescue to help participants keep practicing after a workshop.

Research Scholars

Founder & President

I founded Research Scholars to help secondary school students develop the skills to pursue independent research. I drew on my experience writing a scientific review paper and what I learned during summer programs at Johns Hopkins University to shape the program. Through it, I introduce students to research methodology, scientific inquiry, and academic writing, with the goal of making research more approachable and accessible.
