Describe your college experience

I've had a lot of experience doing camping as a scout. I got my eagle scout during high school and through this experience I mingled well with lots of students and scout masters. When I transitioned to college, I was able to meet a lot of new people and even participate in research and internships.

Tip for future students

- Plan classes early including timing - Meet people in your class and talk to people beside you in class - Talk to faculty and your professors, they are always there to help and you can even be a TA

Favorite class

CMSC 216 was my favorite class because I was able to learn a lot about computer systems and Linux which are both very practical and useful skills in the tech industry.

Career goals

I hope to break into a software engineering career at a top company in the Bay Area or NYC such as Amazon, Google, Apple, Databricks, Cruise, and similar.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is to go to the gym, grab food with friends at a restaurant and enjoy some music such as Frank Ocean, and SZA.
