Academic Background: Hi! I am a second-year computer science major minoring in business fundamentals. I am currently at the UConn Stamford campus, but plan on transferring to the main campus in Storrs for my junior year! In high school I wasn’t quite sure what field I wanted to go into, I always changed my mind. When I took my first computer science class in Java at my high school we did fun projects that made me realize that this is the field I want to go into. Although computer science can be difficult at times I enjoy it!
Research Interests: I haven’t conducted any research yet. I am interested in app development and front-end website development.
Professional Experience: I am currently looking for internships for this upcoming summer!
Interests/Hobbies: Outside of school I enjoy baking and gardening! I’m also big on fashion. I’m currently a writing tutor at UConn Stamford’s tutoring center and a member of the honors program.
