Undergraduate Research 24/25
Graduating Class of 2027

I am currently a 2nd year Computer Science and Engineering student, and Undergraduate Researcher at the University of Michigan. I am very passionate about my work and excited to step deeper into the world of technology and business. I have experience in data structures and algorithms with C++ and Python, as well as Javascript/React for web development. I am working on finding a specialty, and hopeful to secure a Software Engineering internship for the summer of 2025.

Along with my interests in technology, I love sports, travel, and weightlifting. I am a lifetime hockey player (since retired) and a big Michigan Hockey fan now. While the city of Ann Arbor is great, I am looking forward to expanding my international travel with studying abroad or temporary housing after graduation. I have also really enjoyed working in the Food Service Industry for the past couple years. I get the opportunity to meet lots of people and work in a fast paced environment. Seeing how a high-level Restaurant operates has definitely inspired my own interest in cooking too.
