Major: Computer Science: Data Science Emphasis
Graduation: June 2024

I'm a huge nerd and I love all things computers. I enjoy programming for classes as well as for fun. I like playing video games as well as learning!

What are your favorite books?

My favorite book series is The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney but I don't read much as of recently though.

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your freshman self?

Grades are important, but if you're sacrificing learning for them, you have lost the entire point of your education.

When you have 30 minutes of free time, what do you do?

I would probably watch an episode of whatever show I am currently watching or a quick game (if I can find one that can fit into 30 minutes!)

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program?

The Honors Program is structured very similar to the way my high school ran classes. Though unconventional, it always worked well for me, so I decided to try it out. So far, it has been challenging, but worth it!

What has been your favorite Honors experience?

I absolutely love meeting new people. The different personalities everyone has are so amazing! These people are all so kind and wonderful!

What is your next step in Honors?

I have just barely started the Honors Program, so I still have to complete my commitment interview!
