EcoHack

I met with President Stoicheff and Mayor Clark to discuss my CELER project.

As much as I like working on projects, I also enjoy sharing them with others. It's a great way to disseminate knowledge, gather feedback, and exchange ideas. My work, classes, and projects have shown me how impactful software can be. I want to communicate this to others, because I think everyone can have an appreciation for the power of software regardless of their area of study. Whether it be through research symposiums, video presentations, or extracurriculars, I strive to be a part of the conversation and involve others in the process. This has led me to meet some amazing people and build new connections.

Interests

I am a proud three-chord-strummer on the acoustic guitar with no intention of improving in hopes of retaining my amateurish charm. In my spare time, I enjoy biking around the city, hanging out with my family and friends, and working on side projects.
