Primary point of accountability for student Masterpiece projects and audience building
Coordinates shadow days for prospective students
Manages the Shadow Day process including:

Helps package student achievements (Masterpiece, academics) for college admissions

Working to improve student accountability and consistent work output between "burst" periods
Self-described as still learning audience building strategies
Reports approximately 60% of Alpha X students understand the Brain Lift approach (up from 40%)

Identifies inconsistency of student effort as a major challenge: "For most kids, there tends to be time periods where they have, you know, sweet burst of hard work, and then it's way lower throughout the rest of the session"
Recognizes development gaps with students like Alex and Cruz who are more focused on "riding the hype wave" than making tangible progress
Working to develop more systematic approaches to project management as student numbers increase
Openly acknowledges areas for growth: "I'm the first person to admit that I'm not an audience [building expert]"
