I grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles, a beautiful place that I see as a breeding ground for innovative ideas. Since I was young, I stayed curious and never passed on an opportunity to learn something new. The field of computer science jumped out to me due to its ability to appeal to my love of logic. I enjoyed experimenting with different coding projects in class, so much so that I took that interest outside of the classroom. I continued to pursue my interest by majoring in computer science at Cornell University.
