Project Title

How did I get interested in Computer Science?
I took a couple of CS courses in high school, and I loved that it brought together some of my favorite interests: math, problem-solving, and creativity. It was fascinating how the subject encouraged me to tackle challenges with curiosity; each project felt like an opportunity to uncover something new, gradually solving puzzles and connecting the dots.

What social interests matter to me?
CS Education and equity!

What is my most impactful college experience?
Exploring different clubs on campus with my friends--it was cool to figure out (more specifically) where my interests lie and to meet diverse groups of people on campus.

These are a few of my favorite things!
Reading, doodling, exploring campus with friends, and playing violin.
