About

I am a highly motivated individual who always work towards self-improvement in numerous areas such as coding , leadership, and communication. I am currently studying Computer Science at Georgia Tech because I love the logic of programming and the vast area of influence that coding has in the current technological age. In the future, I hope to combine my passion for psychology and service to create effective and user-friendly user interfaces so that anyone, regardless of age or origin, can access the benefits of technology. Another future endeavor of mine is to build a Baymax, who can contribute to providing care in the hospitals and relieve the overworked nurses. Outside of academics, I am passionate about social event planning, large or small; it is extremely fulfilling to see people relaxing and enjoying themselves after going through difficult times at home, school, or work.
