Bio

I am a natural leader and actively hold leadership positions in various clubs and organizations, including serving as President of my school's Leo Club where I develop community service projects and fundraisers. I am fueled by my curiosity and committed to sustaining a culture that values diversity. In my free time, I thoroughly enjoy doing puzzles and experience the same wonderful sense of fulfillment from completing them as I do when programming a website or game. Through my four years of programming and learning about the field, I have realized the potential of Computer Science to make a positive impact on the world, and I greatly desire to be a part of that change.
