Projects
I strongly believe that “a better world is possible but it must be deliberately created”. Below are some of the projects that I've pursued to help shape that future.
How To Revive The Dead
Author
In 2023, during my final semester of college, I independently published this compilation of essays. The project entitled "How To Revive The Dead", explores the idea of loss and its impact on individuals, families and societies.

The Tears of Other Men
Author
In 2022, I independently published my second book, "The Tears of Other Men". This compilation of essays attempts to create more space for individuals like myself, whose lives occupy intersections. Drawing on my Philosophy and Political Science education in the United States, these personal essays explore experiences relevant to my youth, ideas debated in the present and my hopes for the future. In many ways, the book is one half of my undergraduate capstone — with my research thesis completing the other part.

Inspiring Stories From Amazing People
Author & Curator
In 2019, I published my first book with Amazon, "Inspiring Stories From Amazing People", at the age of 16. The book features the personal stories of incredible individuals from all across the globe and it talks about the lessons these people have learned on their journey to outstanding achievements.

Community Healing Fund
Co-Founder
In 2020, I co-founded a fund to provide resources to communities in need. We supported international students impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, delivered critical supplies to homeless shelters, and provided meals to people facing housing instability. Our largest effort was a book drive that collected over 750 books for incarcerated individuals across 26 prisons in the Midwest.

Hope College Philosophy Club
Co-President
Philosophy has developed into a really important passion of mine and I enjoy sharing that love with other curious individuals. On Hope College's campus, I helped relaunch our Philosophy Club which met weekly to engage in intellectual conversations. I also helped to raise funds for club activities and have assisted with club events and communications.
