I’m a CS Master’s Student at Columbia University from the Bay Area, CA. I graduated from Brown University in 2024 with an Sc.B in Computational Biology with Honors.

I’m an aspiring technologist & research scientist interested in solving complex biological problems using computational methods. I have a passion for investigating the origins and inner biomolecular workings of life, whether on Earth, or anywhere in the universe!

Outside of academics, I’m a trained vocalist, and I enjoy songwriting, music production, cooking, going to the gym, and drawing.
