About

I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Statistics and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, where I’m deeply involved in campus life through my role on the Carnegie Mellon Racing team (CMR). As the social media lead for CMR—a team of over 150 members—I directed media efforts, created content, and led a campaign that raised a record-breaking $21,000 for the team.

Outside of school, I manage a network of Instagram theme pages that reach over 15 million followers and generate more than 120 million impressions each month. One example is @ocean.destinations, which has 5.2 million followers. I’ve been growing and managing Instagram pages for over six years and have helped multiple clients organically scale their presence and gain tens of thousands of followers.

I actively apply what I've learned from my degree to optimize both the revenue and reach of my network—developing predictive models, analyzing performance data, and leveraging insights to fine-tune content strategy. This data-driven approach has significantly increased engagement rates and monetization potential across the entire portfolio.
