I notice things, ask why, and usually end up somewhere unexpected.
Explore My World A little more about me ↓I’m interested in the gap between what people do and why they do it.
I’m a Northwestern student drawn to psychology, people, and the patterns hiding in ordinary experiences. I’m still exploring where that curiosity leads — law, AI, finance, and creative work are all currently in the mix.
A learning habit
The IB Diploma taught me to move between rigor and experimentation. I chose demanding academic subjects, studied Spanish B, and stepped into IB Dance without a professional dance background. I finished Dance with a 7, but the better result was learning that unfamiliar is not the same as impossible.
I’m happiest when a subject makes me rethink how I learn.
Confusion is often the beginning of the interesting part.
Understanding matters more when I can explain it clearly to someone else.
Psychology research
“How might perceived overqualification shape knowledge hiding and academic performance?”
The project began with something I experienced myself. I noticed a pattern, wondered why it happened, and wanted a more rigorous way to understand it.
With a mentor, I moved from an intuitive question into research design, data collection, statistical analysis, and academic writing.
Research gave me a language for curiosity: define the idea carefully, test what you can, and stay honest about what the evidence does — and does not — say.
A few chapters
More like evidence that one experience tends to become a question, which tends to become the next experience.
Leadership
I became an officer after first joining without feeling like the most confident mathematician in the room. That memory shaped how I approached recruitment: the club should invite curiosity, not just reward confidence.
Writing
A John Locke essay became a space for independent, interdisciplinary thinking — following an idea across the borders between subjects.
Film
Through IASIS Film activities with schools across Southeast Asia, I explored video as a different kind of language: visual, collaborative, and unusually good at making people feel something.
Sometimes I stop explaining things.

A growing, slightly chaotic book list
Films with something to say after the credits
Story-driven games and difficult choices
