PIVOTAL MOMENTS

canon events

almost getting expelled my freshman year

in exchange for losing the ability to have a normal high-school experience, i learned so many valuable life lessons that have shaped me into the person i am today.

attending uiuc as a second-choice admit

the first time i ever bet on myself. knew the risk and went in anyways with the mindset that i would say yes to every opportunity that came my way. a year later i was accepted into gies and was selected as 1 of 3 out of 600+ students to become a gies scholar.

rushing phi chi theta

eternally grateful to the friends and family that this org has brought me.

my first call with austin kennedy

a cold dm on a saturday at 1 am led to us calling at 4 am that same night. in 45 minutes he inspired me to step outside of my comfort zone and pursue my passions. great guy.

posting my first video

unironically changed the trajectory of my life.

the turbo ai creator retreat

redefined my perception of what was possible. if they could do it, why couldn't i?

my first call with tobin tang

thought he was kinda weird but went along with it.
