Describe your college experience
The transition to Stanford was exciting but definitely challenging at first. I quickly found community through dorm events, clubs, and mentorship programs, and I’ve loved the mix of academic rigor and opportunities for personal growth.
Tip for future students
Don’t be afraid to ask for help early on, from professors, classmates, and campus resources. Also, try new things outside your comfort zone; you’ll meet incredible people and discover new passions.
Favorite class
My favorite class so far has been ENGR 40M (Intro to Electrical Engineering) because it’s hands-on and teaches you how things really work, from theory to building actual hardware.
Career goals
I hope to work at the intersection of hardware and AI, eventually pursuing graduate studies or building my own startup.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Playing basketball with friends, grabbing late-night food, or relaxing with music.
