Bio

I'm a passionate advocate for environmental sustainability, I have always been interested in using computer science as a tool to help communities fight climate change. Throughout high school my main goal was to use technology to help my community fight through climate disasters. At Columbia University, I plan to continue my research journey in computer science, focusing on developing new technologies that can help low income communities like mine fight climate change. I firmly believe that the power of data analysis and machine learning can help us create more efficient and sustainable systems, leading to a significant reduction in our carbon footprint. My ultimate goal is to use my knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the world, inspiring others to pursue their passion in science and technology, and working towards a more sustainable future for our planet.
