Welcome to my portfolio! I am a candidate for an M.S. in Computer Science at UMass Amherst, concentrating in Data Science. Throughout my undergraduate studies in Industrial Engineering, I was introduced to the intersections between computer programming and statistics, which led me to realize that data science was a perfect amalgamation my interests. Other than working and studying, I spend my time baking, pouring latte art, traveling, and playing the piano. I am also the planning team director for a new hackathon being hosted at UMass! In my career, I hope to use statistics, computer science, and optimization to make a more efficient world.
