About me

I currently serve as Business Manager for Central Times, Naperville Central's student-run newspaper, and as an intern with Swimming World Magazine, where I contribute to one of the nation's leading publications covering competitive swimming.

I also serve as a Committee Member on the Illinois Swimming Officials Committee, helping support officiating initiatives and the governance of the sport throughout the state. Previously, I represented Naperville youth as a Student Representative on the Naperville Riverwalk Commission.

Beyond my formal roles, I'm actively involved in the swimming community through writing, media, and digital engagement. I enjoy connecting athletes, coaches, officials, and fans while promoting the sport at the high school, club, collegiate, and national levels.

Outside of school and work, you can usually find me following Chicago sports — especially the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears — or keeping up with the latest developments in politics and public affairs.
