I was born and raised in Burke, Virginia. Throughout my education, I was always most interested in the subjects of history, government, and math. These areas of interest have stuck with me and led me to choose Global Security & Justice and Computer Science as my majors at UVA. At UVA, I wrote my capstone on the use of cyber attacks during warfare. Growing up, dancing was my main hobby and extracurricular. I still attend studio classes from time to time, but now my passion for fitness and movement can be seen in my part-time job as a coach at [solidcore]. Coaching has introduced me to an incredible community and an extremely challenging physical and mental activity- both of which I am extremely grateful for. If I’m not working my full-time or part-time job, I enjoy spending my weekends traveling, trying new restaurants, going to concerts, and doing yoga. I’m currently working on my culinary skills by sharing new vegetarian dishes and recipes with friends and family.
