Resilient under pressure
I stay calm when the stakes are high—on the court, in class, and in group projects—and use pressure as fuel instead of letting it win.
Human Skills
The stuff you can’t find on a stat sheet, but makes teams actually work.
Empathetic teammate
I notice how people are doing, not just what they’re producing, and I try to make space where everyone feels seen and heard.
Curious & coachable
I ask questions, seek feedback, and use tools like AI, film, and office hours to keep leveling up instead of pretending I know it all.
Here is a video documentary project that I made this past semester. I think this shows how I used some of my "human skills" to showcase one of my amazing teammates. Elina Aarnisalo moved to the U.S. for the first time at 18 to play basektball at UCLA. This follows her journey from Helsinki, Finland, to Chapel Hill. I am so proud that she is here and even prouder to call her one of my best friends!
