MAX!

A person in a teal hockey jersey stands on a subway platform with arms crossed, while a large explosion with a mushroom cloud occurs in the background over a dark, silhouetted cityscape.

It’s been four long years, but I am stoked to finally return for my sixth summer at Augusta, and my first as a counselor!

I am 19 years old and from the Bay Area, California having lived in Piedmont, San Francisco, and Orinda. However, now I spend most of my time in New Jersey, where I attend Princeton University studying Operations Research and Financial Engineering.

Over the past two years I have led youth soccer camps and classes, and I’ve discovered that interacting with kids helps me keep touch with my creative and childish side.

I may not be the typical engineer, and I am always up for an adventure or trying something new. Here are just some of my endeavors:

 

 

 

 

Obtaining my motorcycle license! (though I don’t own a motorcycle and my parents highly disapprove of me riding one because of the dangers)

A person wearing a helmet, sunglasses, gray Champion sweatshirt, jeans, and brown boots stands next to a parked motorcycle in a large, empty parking lot, giving a thumbs-up. Traffic cones are set up in the background.
Five people stand on a stage in front of an archway set. Three wear dark cloaks and masks; two people in front, one with a skirt, embrace, the person in the skirt resting their head on the others shoulder.

 

 

 

 

In my senior year of high school, despite never having acted before, I signed up for our fall play’s very last audition spot and was cast as a lead role!

 

 

 

 

Letting my teammate on the basketball team give me a buzz cut…

A young man gets a haircut outdoors, sitting quietly while another person trims his hair with clippers. The seated person wears a patterned barber cape, and the barber wears a sleeveless shirt and plaid pants.
A basketball player wearing a white “Lick Wilmerding” uniform with the number 1 holds a basketball on an indoor court. He is wearing a black mask and standing in front of a large tiger mural and championship banners.
A smiling person stands outdoors on a sunny day, wearing green overalls with purple pockets over a white T-shirt and white sneakers, with hands in pockets. They are in front of a wooden bench and large windows.

 

 

 

 

Designing and sewing my own overalls at school!

 

 

 

 

When I was 12 years old, I rented a fishing rod, bought some octopus, and then climbed up a rock and waited for 4 hours until I caught a fish (all on my own!)

A person wearing a patterned hat smiles and points at a yellow bucket containing a fish, with water, on a stone surface near a body of water and a metal railing.

A few more things that radiate me…

I can’t tolerate spicy food, but if a jalapeño/pepper is in front of me I will eat it anyways just to remind myself of the feeling.

A person in a hoodie and shorts stands on a rugged, rocky mountain slope under a cloudy sky, surrounded by jagged stones with a peak visible in the background.

 

 

 

 

My friend and I left our room at 2am for a 4 hour hike up Mount Tallac near Lake Tahoe to catch sunrise!

In 8th grade, I was called to the principal’s office because my friend and I were promoting our friendly boxing match…

 

 

 

 

On a whim I rented and drove a U-Haul to pick up a free couch off Craigslist for my dorm!

A person is reclining on a beige armchair inside the empty cargo area of a white van, with the van’s rear doors open and trees visible in the background.
Two men wearing medals pose and smile with thumbs up at an outdoor sports event. They stand in front of stadium seats with race participants and banners visible in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I completed a Spartan Race at Oracle Park!

 

 

 

 

I once ate 8 ounces of beef liver! (and as a kid I used to like eating fish eyeballs)

A rectangular black plate with grilled steak slices topped with herbs, swirls of green mashed potatoes, a small cup of sauce with a spoon, and a few arugula leaves. A fork and a glass of dark drink are nearby.
A lacrosse player in a white jersey and helmet, wearing number 11, runs on a grassy field holding a lacrosse stick, with a fence and greenery in the background.

 

 

 

 

I was captain of my high school’s lacrosse team and currently play club lacrosse for Princeton!

And finally…

 

 

 

Me and Fizz! The horse I used to ride at camp!

A young person in a blue shirt smiles and gives a thumbs up while standing next to a brown and white horse in a wooded outdoor setting. Trees and sunlight fill the background.

And one more old camp photo for good measure.

A group of eight teenagers stands close together outdoors, smiling at the camera. They all wear matching gray t-shirts and shorts, with trees and sunlight in the background. Another person sits on the grass nearby.

 

 

 

 

See you all soon!
