Ever since I learned how to code in a robotics club when I was 13, I always wanted to create: apps, devices, art — and solutions that wrapped all three into one.

I found myself energized by my passions for STEM and art. By the time I was applying for colleges, I solidly knew that I could not separate these two aspects of my identity, as if design and I were magnets.

I was accepted into the Engineering Honors Program at CU Boulder. I also joined other societies on campus, including OSTEM and Business & Engineering Women in Technology.

And now I look forward to a career in various creative fields, like maybe game design!
