Creating
Building “In Pursuit of Happiness”, a website documenting my personal reflections and policy ideas on how we can build happier societies; ideas that I thought about during my gap year prior to college.

Hoping to build some kind of tool to help students navigate difficult decisions around using AI in their educational pursuits.
Thinking about
- What is the point of learning in an AI-forward world? How can we communicate this message to people?
- What is burnout? Why do so many people experience it? Is there a solution to it, and is tech a part of it?
