Hello! I'm a computer science and interaction design major at Northeastern University. I've lived on campus for four semesters, have been a part of multiple clubs including Scout, and have extensive knowledge on the community and culture at this school. I've also gone through the co-op search process and am currently on co-op. Feel free to get in touch!

Describe your college experience

Northeastern is a very career-forward school, which is exactly what I was looking for in higher education. Even though my freshman experience wasn't the best, I was still able to make close friends on a personal and professional level, and even land an internship as a graphic designer at Marshalls. I'm very glad to have chosen NU and would love to elaborate on my experience here!

Tip for future students

Be ready to talk about yourself a lot. You're going to meet a lot of new, different people who know nothing about you and will want to get to know you, so don't be afraid to talk about yourself (and brag, if you're networking).

Favorite class

Design: Processes + Practices (ARTG1270) with Jose Menendez. I'm by NO means a morning person, so I thought this 8am class would be terrible, but Jose's personality is extremely magnetic, energetic, and inspiring, and he made the class so fun. We did a lot of experimental graphic​/​interaction design and I built my confidence in my design skills in this class. Also learned the Adobe apps here, which has been so useful for my co-op.

Career goals

Full-stack development and​/​or UI​/​UX design
