ABOUT ME
I started my first year at college thinking I was going to major in CS, which I’ve wanted to study for as long as I can remember. However, as I had the chance to explore my interests further, I ended up choosing Human-Computer Interaction as my major. It feels like the perfect fit since it allows me to focus on creating user-focused systems. I think this switch embodies the most important skill I’ve learned over my freshman year - looking at things objectively and allowing myself to change my mind.
