About Me

I’m a first year Statistics and Data Science major at the University of California, Los Angeles. I’m interested in bioinformatics, creative writing, and environmental science. I graduated in 2025 from Shorewood High School, and plan to finish my degree in four years.

When I’m not studying, I enjoy triathlon training, rock climbing, hiking, reading and playing guitar.

Fun Facts

I’m from Seattle, Washington, but I was born in Austin, Texas.
My favorite class so far at UCLA has been my writing seminar on America in the 1960s, in which we analyzed literature from different Asian American authors.
A goal I have in the next year is to complete my first Ironman 70.3 triathlon.
