I am a senior at Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering, pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction.
Early in my university journey, rigorous foundational courses pushed me to sharpen my problem-solving and build a strong base for growth. I discovered that my real passion lies in using computer science to address meaningful and human-centered problems.
In my final semester, I am advancing my expertise in Artifical Intelligence through collaborative project-based courses: Nature HCI with Dr. Scott McCrickard, where I am exploring human-computer interaction in outdoor and community contexts, designing AI apps that connect technology with nature and social engagement; Creativity in Generative AI with Dr. Pinar Yanardag Delul, leveraging cutting-edge generative AI to drive innovation in creative applications, from cybersecurity to car design; and Machine Learning with Dr. Dawei Zhou, developing advanced skills in machine and deep learning, applying statistical and AI methods in a collaborative research project.
I aim to apply these experiences to design innovative, human-centered AI solutions. I am driven by impact, collaboration, and life-long learning.
I want to feel the satisfaction of building systems that genuinely help people, not just impress on paper.
