I don’t just learn for myself—I make it my mission to give it back.
From breaking down finance and entrepreneurship into street-smart lessons to turning engineering and tech into hands-on, approachable projects, I’ve taught youth how to think, build, and own their futures.
Persistence for me isn’t grinding in silence, it’s creating spaces where the next generation steps up as innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

Annis Young Innovators Initiative
Our first workshop, MISSION: SAFE LANDING, brought together over 30 fifth and sixth graders to tackle an egg-drop challenge. With our guidance, the kids worked through the engineering design process; applying Newton’s Laws of Motion, testing ideas, and crafting rocket ships that could land safely back on Earth. Watching them dive headfirst into problem-solving reminded me how capable kids are of engaging with big concepts when given the chance. They didn’t just learn—they led. We want students to see themselves as innovators today, not someday. This is just the beginning. Our vision is to expand AYII across New Jersey school districts, making affordable, hands-on STEM learning opportunities accessible to all children.

Business & FinTech Educator in Piscataway, NJ
I put together interactive lesson materials that broke down money management, business basics, and creative problem-solving into activities the students could engage with and enjoy. It was an incredible experience to see how quickly they connected with the concepts—and a reminder of why I’m so committed to creating resources that make financial education accessible at every age.
