Personal

Outside of programming and academics, I love interacting with animals, such as playing with cats. I enjoy listening to a wide variety of music, from artists like Taylor Swift to Eminem . I also enjoy watching sports in my free time; being from the Bay Area, I am a fan of all of the teams there (Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, etc.). Outside of sports, I also love watching TV shows and movies, particularly New Girl, The Boys, Top Gun: Maverick, and The Imitation Game.

Within my university, I am involved in multiple organizations and philanthropies. I am the Sponsorships Strategy Chair for the Purdue University Dance Marathon , in which I help raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. I am also on the UX Team of the BoilerMake, the premier hackathon at Purdue.
