More about me
As a transfer student into the Allen school, I had gotten a lot of help from my peers during my first quarter here, so I wanted to give back and help others find their footing and make the most out of the uni life! I also know how intimidating a lot of the classes are, and my goal is to help you achieve your academic goals. When I'm not locked up in my room catching up on assignments or lectures, you can probably find me sitting outdoors somewhere.
Career goals
Broadly, my goal is to be in the tech space and be involved in the advancement of technology. I'm really interested in understanding the whys behind a product, and how these products are being interacted with. I also really enjoy meeting and talking to people, learning from their experiences, and using those insights to create impactful products.
Hobbies
Visiting parks around Seattle. long car rides. denny's at 2am. matcha runs. debating (un)important scenarios. sitting in the sun.
Notable academic challenge
When I first transferred into UW and had to adjust to the heavy academic rigor of the CS program, I was taken aback because I never had to build that solid of a study strategy to understand the topics. Keyword: understand, not excel. The first quarter was pretty much a wake up call that good grades won't come easily, and that my effort played a huge role. Before UW, I never noticed the importance of having a study group. But having one now was definitely one of the most productive decisions I've made.
