Hello! I'm a sophomore at Brown University studying Computer Science. I'm a fan of cats, fun facts, and bucket hats, and when I'm not working I enjoy learning types of dance (albeit badly) and going on adventures.

Describe your college experience

I've loved it here! First semester was a rough transition, of course, but Brown has a super welcoming environment and a place for everyone. I've had a lot of fun meeting people and joining various communities here.

Tip for future students

Plan out your housing ahead of time! It's like the hunger games here if you're not ahead of the game.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been Fiction I. This is a small fiction writing class, and we spend a lot of time giggling at various funny writing prompts and discussing stories together. There's a lot of free rein, and the professor is very kind. Plus, getting to do something non-stem and creativity-based is a nice break for me, and I don't feel like I need to be phenomenal at writing to fit in and learn.

Career goals

I hope to do something positive in computer science, and have a good impact on the world! Right now, I'm considering software engineering, systems, artificial intelligence, or game development (I'll hopefully narrow it down more in the future).

Ideal way to spend a free night

A game night with friends!
