EinSTEAM Science Society

I develop hands-on science activities and near-peer learning experiences, including programs with St. Paul’s Lower School and Bridges Baltimore. The aim is simple: give students something they can try, question, and explain for themselves.

Learning civic leadership

At Mountaineer Boys State in 2025, I participated in a student-government simulation, served in legislative and ceremonial roles, and won the Federalist party’s attorney-general primary. I also conducted and performed with the program’s musical groups.

These were educational simulation roles, not public office. The experience sits alongside my work with St. Paul’s Civic Engagement Institute and the 2026 Albrecht Fellowship.
