Major: Computer Science

Ever since high school, I’ve been stimulated by problem solving through computer science and programming. However, I was equally enamored by the consequences of social sciences, finance, social justice on our global ecosystem. The Milstein Program became the perfect avenue for me to explore technology for a greater purpose, combining both of my passions. Some of my projects through this scholar group include working on Non-profit consulting, conducting market research and creating a Venture Capital pitch deck for a Mental Health Tech startup, and taking part of various tech and social impact classes through the Milstein Summer Program at Cornell Tech. 

I’ve further pursued my interest in tech, social impact, and social sciences through my work as a Product Manager/Tech Lead and Software Developer for the Cornell Hack4Impact Project Team and being a Financial Software Engineer for Cornell Fintech Club, amongst other endeavors. Most recently, I worked as a Software Engineering Intern at BlackRock on the Cloud Migrations and Modernizations team. Aside from my professional interests, I found my love for traveling through my study abroad semester in Amsterdam. I am also working on creating my own crochet brand.
