Hands-on STEM learning in action at Folsom Middle School

Building Real-World STEM Experiences

I developed and expanded the robotics program at Folsom Middle School, giving students hands-on experience with VEX V5 robotics, FDM 3D printing, and laser cutting. These tools let students design, build, and test projects just like real engineers.

​Leadership Philosophy

A leader is successful, but not necessarily in the limited way society conditions us to believe. Growing up in East Oakland, California, in abject poverty with a single parent, around me success was defined by material wealth—the car you drove, the clothes you wore. Today, I define success as the quality of my relationships, the family I help create, and the acts of service I conduct. These beliefs guide how I lead and mentor students, helping them grow both as engineers and as people.
