About Me

I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering coupled with a minor in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. I was born and raised in the Inland Empire, and although the region is widely known to be the region that you drive through when getting to Los Angeles, I am proud to be from the IE and I am grateful for all the amazing people that I have met so far. I hope to eventually use my interests in Software Engineering and experience in higher education to give back to the community and inspire the next generation of the IE to pursue STEM career paths, including Software Engineering.
