In March 2020, during my junior year at Juilliard, I intended on building an iOS app to connect conservatory students with piano accompanists. After quickly discovering that this was a non-trivial task, I ended up wanting to pursue a formal education in computer science (CS).

After nine months of self-study and introductory computer science courses at Columbia through Juilliard's BCJ program (Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard), I decided to apply to Columbia's M.S. Bridge program. Through the M.S. Bridge, I completed the core CS classes one takes in an undergraduate CS program such as an introductory Java class, data structures and algorithms, and discrete math, to name a few. As of Fall 2022, I matriculated in the master's program and will be graduating with a master's in CS from Columbia University in December 2024. I've completed courses in systems programming, natural language processing, computer graphics, and more.

Currently, I am a software engineer in Games at The New York Times.

I have a bachelor's in Piano Performance from Juilliard. Beyond coding, you'll find me learning Rachmaninoff preludes, running a few miles, or savoring coffee from Brandywine Coffee Roasters.
