About me

Profile Image

I'm a recent graduate from Utah State University (USU), where I earned dual degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics & Statistics, finishing summa cum laude. My academic journey, however, doesn't entirely define me. I'm passionate about music, having played in the USU marching band as the drumline captain. Outside of music, I enjoy the strategic nature of pickleball and find balance in regular weightlifting.

At USU, I took up the mantle of Vice President of the Data Science Club, encouraging a love for data among fellow students. As Mr. USU for the College of Science, I was proud to represent my classmates during the homecoming festivities. My community involvement extends further as I helped organize fundraising initiatives for the Utah Foundation for the Blind in my capacity as the Philanthropy Chair for Phi Gamma Delta.

In essence, I'm a passionate learner, a music enthusiast, an advocate for community service, and someone who thrives in leadership roles, ready to apply these experiences and skills to future endeavors.
