Ryan (he/him), 2025 Springtide Ambassador (18 – Rhode Island) 

Favorite entertainment: Watching Arrival — something about the way language, time, and science intertwine always pulls me in. Also, I have a soft spot for The Expanse — realistic space travel with political intrigue? Yes, please. 

Favorite dessert: A warm croissant with dark chocolate—flaky, rich, and just a little bitter. 

Place where I feel at rest: Under a night sky far from city lights, where the stars feel infinite, and the silence is its own kind of presence. 

Unique talent or trait: Seeing the invisible connections between things — whether it’s molecules in a reaction, data points in a study, or ideas across disciplines. 

Dream profession: A biomedical researcher pushing the boundaries of cancer therapeutics, but with a mindset that blends physics, engineering, and chemistry into the equation.
