I crave a community that not only cultivates belonging and provides academic competition but also one that understands the value of failure. With this said I believe I am making the best of the hand that I was dealt; by working closely with several professors in the computer science department as a TA and researcher.
School isn’t easy, but I love it. I’ve had an obsessive love of learning as far back as I can remember. My passions for computer science and mathematics are why I made it my goal to not only make it to the highest level AP classes in high school, but also do exceptionally well. I achieved these goals, but it wasn’t without an exhaustive amount of hard work and internal
