hello! i'm computer science major at usc (fight on!). i love developing cool projects in collaborative spaces, leveraging technology to generate social change, and exploring novel AI/ML advancements through research. in my free time, you can also find me café hopping or tending to my virtual cats (cats&soup!). i'm actively open to discovering new avenues where i can creatively problem-solve while building my technical skills.most likely though you'll find me in SAL teaching students c++ pointers or beating my high score in tetris (lol).
