    🐅 Princeton, Class of 2026

    I just graduated.

    The work I'm proudest of isn't really mine. It came from advisors who gave me their time, friends who carried me through the hardest weeks, collaborators in Botswana who let me work on something that mattered, and a first squad that taught me what showing up looks like.

    Four years of being shaped by people more generous than I had any right to expect. Thank you, all of you.
