Founder of Primus in Physics 

I founded Primus in Physics, an affinity group for first-generation, low-income (FGLI) college students in the Harvard physics undergraduate and graduate departments. 

We hosted community building gatherings like student-faculty lunches and study breaks. We helped students begin research by hosting informational research panels and finding research mentors for them. 

Scientific Outreach

I wrote, animated, and voiced videos about climate change, fusion energy, superconductors, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (a company working to deliver renewable energy to the world).
