originally, i am from canada 🇨🇦, and i was born in toronto. my journey with tennis 🎾 began at the age of 7, and quickly it developed in a great passion. to pursue my athletic dreams, i switched to homeschooling 🎒 when i was 11, which not only allowed me to dedicate sufficient time to tennis 🎾 but allowed me to explore other interests of mine such as skincare 🧖🏽♀️, weightlifting 🏋🏽♀️, and cooking 👩🏽🍳. i was a nationally ranked player in canada 🇨🇦, but after years of training, i unfortunately suffered a debilitating wrist injury.

a few years after i had recovered from wrist surgery, and since my business was more stable, i decided it was the right time for me to pursue higher education 🎓, and i ultimately ended up at columbia university ♔. initially, i had intended on majoring in business, but after taking my first computer science 💻 class at columbia ♔, i found i had a natural inclination towards CS, and i decided to pursue it as a major. over the years, i have really enjoyed studying CS, despite the long hours i have spent working on projects or debugging code 👩🏽💻. throughout my studies, i learned so much about the expansive role of computer science 💻.
with experience, i have realized that my strengths lie in the culmination of my skills, from the strong interpersonal skills 👯♀️ and experience i have from being an entrepreneur 👩🏽💼 , in combination with the technical skills 👩🏽💻 i have developed at columbia ♔. with CS, i am able to showcase all the skills i have gained through my life, from the hard work and discipline i learned from being a competitive athlete 🎾 , as well as my natural creativity 👩🏽🎨, where i can now showcase this in my work and projects 🎨. as i enter graduation 👩🏽🎓, i am looking for my next role, where i can utilize my skillset and provide great value.
