My journey into software engineering started in an unexpected place: biology.

While pursuing both my BS and MS in Biology, I discovered that coding was essential for tasks like data analysis and visualization. However, I noticed a gap—most biology programs didn't offer sufficient training in these areas, leaving many students struggling. Witnessing this firsthand sparked my curiosity about technology and inspired me to pivot toward solving real-world problems with code.

Now, as a Master's student in Computer Science, I combine my interdisciplinary background with my passion for building impactful solutions. My projects always start with understanding the user's needs and working toward practical, impactful solutions.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, hanging out with my pups Waffle and Yumi, and skiing.
