Experience
Community Service Coordinator
June 2022 – June 2024
I led weekly academic sessions for children at orphanages, focusing on improving their educational outcomes while engaging them in social development activities, such as board games and collaborative exercises. I provided mentorship and career guidance, helping them explore future opportunities and build confidence in their aspirations. Additionally, I managed teams of volunteers, organizing schedules, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring the effectiveness of community service initiatives.
Editor
Feb 2023 – June 2024
As an editor for the Curiosity Cave Blog, I reviewed and refined STEM project content, covering diverse topics such as submarines, spectrometers, and RC planes. I worked remotely with a team of contributors, ensuring technical accuracy and clarity while maintaining the readability of the articles. This role enhanced my ability to distil complex technical concepts into accessible and engaging content.
At PROMYS India 2023, I immersed myself in advanced Number Theory lectures delivered by Professor Ila Varma and participated in first-year exploration labs. These labs provided hands-on experience with topics such as Euler’s formula and Pick’s Theorem, deepening my understanding through rigorous problem-solving. I authored an expository article on Pick’s formula and Euler’s Theorem, showcasing my ability to communicate intricate mathematical ideas effectively.
During my internship at Phi Robotics Research, I contributed to the development of robotics products, assisting with design processes and project execution. I gained hands-on experience in a professional technical environment, supporting project management to ensure progress and the timely completion of tasks. This internship honed my practical problem-solving skills and allowed me to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of robotics and technology-driven innovation.
Organizations
I founded the Students for Mathematics Foundation to foster a love for mathematics and STEM in local communities. I spearheaded strategic planning, fundraising efforts, and outreach initiatives, significantly expanding the foundation’s visibility and impact. Through organising interactive sessions at local orphanages, I inspired children to explore mathematics and develop critical thinking skills. This role enhanced my leadership and organisational abilities as I guided the foundation’s growth and long-term mission.
As the founder of The Bishop’s Mathematical Society, launched on Pi Day 2022, I created a platform for advanced mathematics beyond the standard curriculum. I organised and led around 15 biweekly meetings each year, covering diverse topics such as mathematical logic and combinatorics, with curated handouts to enhance members’ analytical and proof-writing skills. Additionally, I designed and led "Mini-courses" on the history of mathematics and mathematicians, along with special events like guest lectures and competitions.
