A little about me

I am a student-athlete at Cornell University pursuing a degree in Information Science with concentrations in Data Science and User Experience design and a minor in Artificial Intelligence.

As both an athlete and a scholar, I bring discipline, resilience, and curiosity to everything I do. My studies allow me to explore the intersection of human behavior and technology, where I am particularly interested in how artificial intelligence can enrich and improve people’s lives. This dual commitment to excellence in athletics and to innovation in academics shapes the way I approach challenges and opportunities alike.

Building on this foundation, I am especially drawn to Machine Learning as a tool to understand, model, and enhance human behavior, with the broader goal of leveraging technology to create meaningful impact in the world.

Three Core Values that Define My Character

Dedication Beyond Reason

I push past perceived limits, reaching further than what’s thought possible

Persistance Beyond Convention

An unwavering drive. I don’t stop until ambition turns into achievement

Discipline Beyond Comfort

I remain steadfast on the path, resolute regardless of obstacles or distractions

Background Picture

Beyond Passion

My life has been shaped by a deep zeal for tennis, a sport that constantly challenges me to push beyond limits.

On the court, I’ve learned discipline, resilience, and the value of incremental growth. Off the court, tennis has taught me how to stay grounded while striving for excellence.

This ongoing pursuit of improvement has led me to compete at the highest collegiate level as a proud member of the Division I tennis team at Cornell University.
