I love

What I like to do.

I feel best when I'm solving problems, playing music, helping someone, being active, or spending time with people close to me.

My thoughts.

I believe in always working hard, always challenging yourself, always following through, and always pursuing something that matters to you.

My goals.

In the next few years, I want to work at a startup, start an online business, commit to learning another language, play more music, travel more, and always continue to challenge myself.

Where to find me.

I grew up in Flagstaff, Arizona, a small and rural area where I developed a love for nature. Now during the school year you'll find me in Ithaca, New York for school, but I'm hoping to spend my summers somewhere on the west coast.

I'm always learning.

I'm a freshman at Cornell University studying computer science. I'm lucky to be a part of the community, and the opportunities there are endless. While my classes keep me busy, I'm also a big believer in independent learning - it's important for me to make time to go online or grab a book and teach myself more about the things I'm most interested in.

Here are some of the things I've been up to.

TEDxCornell
I am IT lead for TEDxCornell 2018. In IT, I'm working on the event website (tedxcornell.com), but I'm also reaching out to speakers and working on advertisement and general design. I hope to stay involved while I'm at Cornell, expanding the team and hosting a more impressive event each year.

Cornell Data Science
I'm a part of Cornell Data Science's deep learning team, which explores the development and application of neural networks. Neural networks are a type of machine learning algorithms loosely based off of how our own brains work, with many "neurons" communicating and producing a response given an input. I'm currently working on implementing convolutional and recurrent neural networks and I plan on completing a project to generate original music with deep learning in the near future.

Here are some of the photos I've taken.
Let's get in touch.
