Service & Leadership

Leadership and Well-Being

Mental health and community well-being deeply matter to me, and I have worked on them at every level I could reach at Georgia Tech: from supporting fellow graduate students personally in my own school, to campus-wide student government, to the counseling center, to the university’s administration. This work also shapes my research interest in improving access to care beyond the university. ISyE recognized this work with the Philip J. and Delores A. Scott Graduate Student Health and Wellness Award in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
