Analytical
Whether about science or history, I explore miscellaneous questions and patterns throughout time with research and writing. I competed in Science Olympiad and placed nationally at the Harvard Invitational for Geologic Mapping, Codebusters, and Disease Detectives. As an intern for the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum, I created the recipe book She’s the Revolution, which allowed me to read amazing family recipes and connect them back to the women’s suffrage movement.
A few of my other ventures into analytical writing and Mock Trial are below!

Sociology Research -
At Boston University, I analyzed and coded transcripts for the Wealth Talks study, as well as catalogued utopias and dystopias in media (below!)
History of Science Research Paper -
Inspired by my time studying epidemiology while simultaneously living through the pandemic, I started looking into medical mistrust and wrote a paper on the 1832 Cholera Riots and development of the medical profession. I love examining this link between quantitative data and human anecdotes. Link here
Lexspects -
I served as EIC of my school’s culture and political review. Some of my favorite articles I’ve written are:
Due Process & Zoning Laws essay for the Columbia Undergraduate Law Review Essay Contest
Interview with Kunal Botla, who ran for our town’s Planning Committee
Mock Trial -
As a captain for our school’s Mock Trial team, I’ve learned to use logic to decode the emotions and discrepancies within a case. I think of law itself as “untangling” facts while also empathizing with lives not our own. The activity itself also requires acting as a witness, which takes me back to my love for acting growing up.
