During my last year of college, I worked as an App Developer for
Project Friendship, a local non-profit organization. There, I sharpened my backend
and cloud infrastructure skills. I also completed course on Quantum
Computing while serving as a Teaching Assistant for a senior-level
algorithms course. After that, I was a Machine Learning and "All
Around" Teaching Assistant for the department. I also spent the year
as a research follow for the
Center for Interdisciplinary Research. I also got inducted into the national honors society for history,
Phi Alpha Theta. Finally, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from St. Olaf
College with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and History,
along with a concentration in Statistics and Data Science.
In the spring, I completed courses on data science, statistical
learning, and machine learning. My team also won the People's Choice
Award at St. Olaf College's Ole Cup 2025! I helped design, develop,
and market an app called BloomMates, you can find more information
about it
here. I also served as a teaching assistant for the computer science
department. In the summer, I worked at GCS Geospatial as a Software
Engineer intern and continued working on personal projects.
I worked under a professor teaching an introductory statistics
course, and continued completing personal projects and
certifications. I completed courses on ethics in software design,
statistics, hardware design, and analyzing algorithms.
Outside of class, I worked towards completing various projects and
certifications, mostly pertaining to frontend and backend web
development. I also completed courses on data structures in C++ and
software design.
After much deliberation, I decided to take myself to Northfield,
Minnesota and pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and
History at the small private liberal arts institution of St. Olaf
College.
