Spent my Childhood building on Minecraft

Spent 95% of my childhood playing Minecraft instead of homework. No regrets — learned how to build from scratch with limited resources and iterate fast.

Fed my desire to pave my own path rather than having it handed to me.

Opened Clothing Business on Roblox

In sophomore year of high school, I opened a clothing business on Roblox, designing 60 assets myself on the chromebooks my High School gave everyone during COVID.

Ended up selling 2,000 assets in 4 months. Getting rich off Robux inspired me to bring my fashion ideas further...

Obsessing over WW2 Military History

Became fascinated in military tactics after taking AP Euro with Mr.Baratti, who taught me the importance of pursuing what I love instead of chasing grades. He also has an insane artifact collection!

Inspired me to enter defense engineering and aerospace :)
