Hometown: San Francisco, CA
I chose this major because... The intersection between fields such as computer science, math, and business makes data science such a rare, holistic industry. The constant change and need for problem-solving has always kept me engaged and wanting to learn more!

Clubs/Extracurricular Activities: Drexel Urban Growers

Favorite thing/place at Drexel: Drexel Park
When I'm not at Drexel, I'm... at the climbing gym, watching a movie on Discount Tuesdays, going to a concert, or getting coffee with friends
When you are in Philadelphia, I think you should... check out Chinatown, go to a farmers' market, and people watch in a square
Advice to new/incoming CCI students: Remind yourself that you are already enough! It can be challenging to not compare yourself to your peers and give it to imposter syndrome (trust me, we all do it from time to time). Everyone has a unique skill set and background which is what makes you special! Co-op employers and professors want to see your perspective, so make sure to always highlight that!
What is your dream job: Working with data in a media and entertainment company
Favorite Animated Character: Snoopy
