I attended Random Math's classes and practices from 2019 to 2022, and participated in competitions as a team member from 2019-2023 and as team captain during 2023-24. Random Math's training and highly talented peer group were instrumental in my journey from an AIME qualifier in 2019 to a MOPper in 2022. Manish Uncle and the Random Math community inspired me to aim high and supported me in achieving these goals; despite starting out near the bottom of their AIME training class in 2019, I learnt to push my boundaries from the highly talented peer group and Manish Uncle. While working on math problems has always been fun for me, participating in team rounds with my Random Math teammates are some of my most fun math-related memories.

I have not had the opportunity yet to teach at Random Math, as I was involved in other (pro-bono) tutoring efforts, but I may in the future.
