About Me

I'm a Penn State student studying computational math and statistics with a minor in computer science. Fascinated by machine learning, data science, and computational statistics, I hope to attend graduate school in the future and later work as a big-data analyst or researcher.

​

Outside the classroom, my hobbies include playing basketball (Shout out Knicks), biking, listening to music, public speaking, and reading FiveThirtyEight. I also enjoy taking Coursera classes in my spare time.

​

I'm not big on personal mottos, but one quote that really inspires me is Tom Peters' "Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders." It's an empowering, insightful idea, and one that I try to carry out in both my professional and personal life.
