My Mom has always told me, to whom much is given, much is expected.

Starting the summer of 2022, I have been teaching ​chess to kids from Livingston and surrounding ​neighborhoods. For the past three summers, I have ​volunteered as a Junior Police Academy Staff Member ​with the Livingston Police Department. This provided ​me with the opportunity to play chess with a few of ​the officers in the Livingston Police Department, which ​also allowed me to teach chess strategy and tactics. I ​also spoke at the 2023 Autism Awareness Month ​event, to join in solidarity with kids who are ​neurodivergent, and share with them how chess has ​helped me in life. In the summer of 2023, I taught chess ​to 15 middle and high school students for two weeks at ​Rutgers University’s Pre-College Summer Institute ​Program. Most recently I started a program called ​Checkmate To A Better Future aimed at promoting ​chess.
