About

Upon graduating from Northwestern University, I am positioned at an intersection of different types of skills and experiences. With a major in Computer Science and two albums on spotify, I've developed a fascination with the patterns that underlie both technical and creative disciplines. As a teaching assistant and machine learning trainer, I have learned to communicate complex ideas in digestible, easy to understand ways. My work history - spanning interior design, music production, and laboratory research - has honed my ability to think holistically and identify the connective tissue between disparate fields. Whether working independently or as part of a team, in-person or remotely, I hope to bring creative problem solving to my next opportunity. Now, I'm eager to bring my skills and curiosity to a forward-thinking organization in the tech industry. By blending my expertise in computer science, music theory, and design principles, I'm poised to make a meaningful impact, creating products and experiences that are not only functional, but artfully conceived. I'm excited to discuss how I can use my passion for patterns to contribute to your organization's success. Let's connect and explore the possibilities.
