Biography

I was born in Southern Maryland, and this is where I spent most of my life until I began attending college at the University of Washington, Seattle. Here, I pursued my interest of studying computer science before officially transferring to Boston University in the middle of my sophomore year. As I enter my junior year of college, I am completing coursework related to my computer science major and business minor.

Activities and Interests

Reading

I love to visit the Boston Public Library and rent books to read in my free time! It is such a beautiful building and a great place to study off campus.

Swimming

I love to swim recreationally, but I love to snorkel even more. I recently snorkeled in the Dominican Republic and had an amazing time! When I am in Boston, however, I find Fitrec to be a great place for recreational swimming.

Tango

I have yet to begin exploring tango, but I will be taking a PDP class at Fitrec this semester to learn! I have wanted to learn Tango for a long time, and am very excited to begin taking classes.

Volunteering

At UW, I was part of APO where I volunteered for many important causes and gave back to my community. Volunteering is one of my biggest passions, and I was so grateful to be able to volunteer while building strong friendships.
