LSA Honors Program

Guided prospective students through program opportunities via tours and Zoom meetings. Delivered presentations on Campus Days to 200+ attendees, sharing personal experiences as the only freshman ambassador. Gave multiple speeches throughout the fall and spring semesters to crowds of 200+ incoming families and students, speaking to my experience and answering questions about the honors program's admissions process. Met with families and students one-on-one to give a more personal perspective on honors. Collaborated with members of the honors admissions board to contribute to a fair yet rigorous upcoming admissions cycle.

Jan. 2025 - Apr. 2025
Developed an internal application used by over 40 employees to upload, transcribe, and assess medical transcriptions and various other forms powered by the Soniox LLM. As part of the backend team, founded the REST API Node.js framework and set up the EC2 and NGINX instance connecting to our Vite React frontend. Developed several handler functions to accept, transmit, and sanitize multiple file sources and inputs such as DOCX, XLSX, and PDF for a seamless user experience.
