Where discipline meets discovery
“When the picture isn't clear, you adapt, adjust, and find a way forward.”
I’m a Team USA fencer, researcher, and aspiring physician. Born with Nystagmus and high myopia, I learned early on to turn physical challenges into strategic strengths. Whether I'm competing on the fencing strip or investigating the mechanics of human vision, I approach every goal with the same mindset: when the picture isn't clear, you adapt, adjust, and find a way forward.
