Heyo! I'm currently a computer science and statistics double major student at UC Berkeley. I originally wanted to go into economics and finance, but became more interested in CS​/​AI during my time in college. In my free time, I like to play piano and try out new restaurants.

Describe your college experience

I’m super grateful to have had such a great college experience. After forming a close-knit group of friends during my freshman year, it became easy to socialize and share my hobbies with others. People here are very open-minded, so if you’re passionate about something and want to find others who share that interest, you’ll almost certainly find them.

Tip for future students

Definitely look into what Berkeley is known for! It helps when applying and getting used to the environment.

Favorite class

Some of my favorite classes include astronomy, data ethics, and introduction to machine learning​/​AI!

Career goals

My goal is to enter the AI field to either conduct research, work in big tech companies, and eventually create my own startup!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Going out to get food or playing games with friends, going to the gym, reading, practicing piano, and reading!
