Description

I'm currently a senior pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with an interest in cybersecurity. This semester, I am an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for CSCI 2113 (Software Engineering) at GW; I have previously been a UTA for CSCI 3313 (Foundations of Computing) and an undergraduate Learning Assistant for CSCI 2312 (Discrete Structures II) and CSCI 1012 (Intro to Python). This past summer, I was a software engineering intern at Capital One in their Technology Internship Program. I will be continuing my education at GW for a fifth year to earn an M.S. in Computer Science, focusing on computer security and information assurance.

My passion for technology started in kindergarten, when I taught myself how to use iWeb to design websites. Around age ten, I started to teach myself how to develop (and not just design) websites and started a web design business. Since then, I've enjoyed building custom tools for myself, my high school's newspaper and student government, the Sunrise Movement, and other organizations I've been a part of or volunteered for.

When not busy in class and coding (yes, often for fun), I enjoy skiing, advocating for climate action, and finding the best vegan sushi wherever I am (Shizen in SF; Planta in DC, LA, and more).
