About Me

University

I am a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I will be a junior for the 25-26 academic year. I am an Evans Scholar and serve as the current Vice President of New Scholars for the UW-Madison House. I am also a member of the boxing club and hold two jobs on campus!

Education

I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and have just begun working toward a second degree in data science. I have been passionate about computers since my childhood. I always found it amazing how you can create anything with just code and your imagination.

Passions

I’m very passionate about fitness. In my free time, you can find me either weight training or sparring in the boxing ring. These hobbies have been a part of my life for years and have taught me countless invaluable lessons. Whether I’m pushing new personal records with my weights, honing my skills on the heavy bag, or trading punches in the ring, I love the balance and clarity that the mental and physical challenges bring.l
