I grew up in Los Angeles, California and attended Wellesley College — a small, historically women’s liberal arts school just outside Boston — for my undergraduate education, where I studied astrophysics and computer science. In addition to adjusting to the chillier winters here in Massachusetts, I also transitioned from studying English to STEM as an undergraduate. I still enjoy writing short fiction and poetry recreationally. You can view some of my works in the Wellesley Review and Counterpoint Magazine.
When I’m not tippy-tapping away at some code or wrestling with the multispecies magnetohydrodynamic equations, you can find me bouldering, knitting, reading, cooking, or hanging out with my cat, Duke Ellington.
