Hometown: Lisbon, Portugal

Majors: Government, History

Minor: China and Asia Pacific Studies

Throughout my personal and professional pursuits, I’ve always been interested in exploring the arts, service, and technology. I’ve tutored young Singaporean children in vocabulary, mentored older Singaporean women in digital skills to improve their job opportunities, and been part of a team researching how AI can be used in oncology. Over the summer at Cornell Tech, I began to merge the worlds of art and technology by creating a piece of wearable tech: a hair clip/keychain that can display anything you want!  That’s just one example of why I love being a part of the Milstein Program,  benefitting from its expansive resources and engaging with like-minded peers to realise my passions!

Some of my (many) hobbies include reading, collecting records, playing football, climbing, making travel videos, watching films, eating with friends, and drawing!
