Clean Tech ECHS Junior Capstone Project
My research project was concerned with the massive amounts of single use plastic bottles (bottled water primarily) used by students at Mechanicville High School. My project shows how the implementation of water bottle refilling stations and other measures could reduce usage of plastic bottles among the students, per surveys my principal helped distribute. This led to the implementation of water bottle filling stations at Mechanicville High School over the summer of 2018.

Capital District Patriot Flight High School Essay Contest Winner (2017)
I was one of two winners for Capital District Patriot Flight's first annual High School Student Essay Contest, for which I wrote a 500 word essay about "Freedom And What It Means To Me". I was awarded a flight with Patriot Flight in October 2017, on a day trip to Washington DC. On the flight, I served as guardian for a Vietnam Veteran, who was visiting the war memorials dedicated to himself and his brothers and sisters in arms for the first time. I have since stayed involved with Capital District Patriot Flight by attending events and doing volunteer work.
