about ME

I have lived most of my life in Northern California, where I spent most of my early years in the Sacramento area and then moved to the Bay Area where I stayed until I graduated high school. I graduated with Salutatorian honors, an IB Diploma, and a Seal of Biliteracy.

​

Currently, I am a second year student at the University of California, San Diego majoring in Cognitive Science specializing in Machine Learning and Neural Computation and I'm hoping to double minor in Technology, Innovation, & Supply Chain Management and Computer Science.

My hobbies include exploring, spending time with my friends, and recently I've been learning the guitar. 

​​

I like to live by the quote "The superior man always retains his individuality." Often attributed to Confucius, the quote emphasizes the importance of moral integrity, self-cultivation, and maintaining one's personal principles and character, even in the face of societal pressures or external influences. These are all things I place a lot of emphasis on in my own life. They make me a resilient, dedicated, and reliable student, coworker, and friend. 

​

I define success as my attainment of a state in which I feel fulfilled, enjoy a sense of abundance, and experience a continuous and genuine sense of joy. Success encompasses a harmonious balance between my contentment, financial security, and my ability to partake in enjoyable activities that contribute to my overall sense of well-being.
