ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for software engineering and quantitative finance. Recently, I've been exploring data science and machine learning through some cool personal projects!

Outside of computer science, I enjoy playing varsity sports (table tennis, horseback riding), performing and teaching music (piano, flute, harp), and writing short stories. I'm always open to meeting new people, so don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to chat!
