Growing up, I was fascinated by video games. My childhood dream is to be able to create my own video game. Though my passion for game development has not faltered, I slowly began to see the power of computer science in so many different aspects of life. At its core, computer science is all about problem solving. I believe that the power of computer science can be used to ameliorate many pressing issues today, such as climate change and environmental sustainability. However, I also recognize the potential negative impacts of technology on us and our planet; thus, I am also passionate about exploring AI governance and ethics and how it can protect our humanity.

Software Engineer Intern | Amazon

May 2025- August 2025

During this 12 week internship, I delivered an project from design to production on the Classification Policy Platform team. Using React and TypeScript, I migrated an external service to a centralized platform to improve existing functions and add new features to reduce manual effort. This experience allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the software development lifecycle.

Peer Mentor | University of Wisconsin Madison

September 2024- May 2025

As a peer mentor for the class "Building User Interfaces", I feel responsible and am eager to guide other student through their academic journey. As a peer mentor, I regularly interact with several of the 100+ students in the class, assisting them in UI topics. At the same time, I am able to gain a deeper understanding of React, React Native, and other fundamental concepts of front-end development.

Beach Ambassador | University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes

June 2023 - December 2023

I spent the summer of 2023 promoting water safety around Milwaukee. I learned so much about effective community engagement. The overall experience also allowed me to reflect on the socialeconomic disparities within society and how our identites shape our lives. Additionally, I was given the oppurtunity to apply my computer science knowledge, as I developed the website for the project. The development of this site enhanced my knowledge in WordPress, HTML, CSS, and BootStrap and the development of accessible websites.

Math Instructor | Mathnasium

January 2021 - January 2023

As my first official work experience, this job prepared me for the professional world. I learned how to communicate with students, coworkers, and supervisors in a collaborative environment. The Mathnasium way of teaching emphasized the importance of teamwork, which has stuck with me ever since. Going in to work being prepared for over 100 kids to come in the center everyday was not easy, but it taught me the importance of teamwork and communication.

Academics can be stressful. That's why I always reserve time to relax. In the morning, you may find me running along the beautiful Lake Mendota, as the sunrises above the capitol. After a long day of classes, you can find me playing volleyball or pickleball with my friends and roaming the library for my next read. Late at night, you may find me scribbling poetry in notebooks or playing the piano. Wherever I am, I always look for ways to maintain balance between my mental health and my work.

At UW-Madison, I am proud to be on the copresident for the Chinese American Student Association here. I an focused on creating an uplifting and inclusive culture within the club. Being a executive board member has taught me about the importance of little details when planning. It always a joy to surround myself with people who share the same culture as me. That's why I also am a part of the Education and Social Justice committee for the Asian American Pacific Islander Desi Heritage Month, where we focus on creating cultural events that can not only teach, but connect those within the APIDA community and beyond.

I am also a part of UW-Madison Code To Connect club, where we focus on youth outreach, teaching children about the power of computer science. As a part of the Wisconsin Idea Fellowship "Cultivating Connections" project as well, I also mentor nearby high school students about what it means to be Asian-American in an academic, career, and social setting. It brings me joy to be able to connect with the youth and help them write their own stories.

In the professional realm, I hope to be able to find myself working in a collaborative and accepting workplace. I hope to be able to create a positive impact in the people and the environment around me. Alongside that, one personal goal of mine I have are to travel the world. Some of my most enjoyable memories were made when I studied abroad in Japan and I hope to experience even more cultures in the future. Aside from travelling, I also hope to develop a small video game, and publish a book.
