One of the things I've enjoyed most about the Milstein Program is getting to know students and faculty with a wide range of academic interests. The program has also given me opportunities to explore topics outside my coursework and pursue rewarding project work.
One of my favorite experiences through the program was spending my freshman summer at Cornell Tech in New York City. In one of our courses, my team worked with representatives from the NYC Civic Engagement Commission on a project using data-driven methods to improve public water infrastructure across the five boroughs.
I was fortunate to receive funding and mentorship through the program's sophomore summer research stipend, which allowed me to conduct independent research on data centers in North Carolina, where I was living and working. My paper examined how these facilities are owned and financed, particularly through newer forms of asset-backed financing, as well as their effects on surrounding communities.
Outside of the Milstein Program, I'm involved in a few business organizations on campus and have enjoyed working as a teaching assistant in the Computer Science department.
