Director @ Cyber Valkyries

Cyber Valkyries is a community I created after realizing that most cybersecurity communities were full of elitist men. What began as a small Discord server has grown into a community that reached 350K+ girls across the globe through partnerships and affiliates. I oversee each department with the help of our amazing team leads. I designed and illustrated our mascot, Valkiria, too.

Peer Tutor @ Cherielle

I also spend a lot of time mentoring and teaching. I've tutored over 10+ high school students in AP Computer Science P/A and Python, running study sessions to help them ace their APs and SATs. I also helped build a set of custom study materials and quizzes that have now reached over 10,000 students in the Cherielle network.

Editor / HoyoCreator

On the creative side, I have a TikTok editing page that’s grown to 12K+ followers, with over 20M views and 2M likes across my videos. This eventually got me scouted for the official Hoyocreators Program for content collaborations.

Research Scholar @ Horizon Academics 2025

I recently completed an independent research project focused on the psychology of cyberattacks! It's about how fear-based misinformation makes it easier for people to fall for phishing attacks. After analyzing a ton of case studies and academic literature, I finished the program with an A+. I've submitted my final paper to Curieux and am crossing my fingers while waiting for the review results!

Research Scholar @ Pioneer Academics 2026

I was accepted into the Pioneer Academics Research Program to study how the professionalization of the “creative technologist” role forced young artists to renegotiate the boundary between creative expression and economic value.

This is a big part of my "why," as I had always felt like I had to pick between art or tech to feel "useful".

Co-host of Radyo Kültür

During the 2025-2026 school year, I was the co-host of Radyo Kültür. My friend and I basically had full run of the radio room. We produced shows for social awareness days. We handled the entire production from scratch. This included writing the scripts, planning the run of show, booking guests and teachers, and dealing with all the tech behind the scenes from setting up microphones to tinkering with the mixer.
