Hello again!

I hope you're having a wonderful day ~

As a first-generation college student, I recently graduated from Cornell University in December 2023 with a B.S. in Information Science (concentrations: behavioral science + user experience design). There, I learned that I loved design, met a lot of amazing friends and mentors, and took many fun P.E. classes (from thai boxing to juggling!). I spent my last semester studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I learned to speak a little Danish (taler lidt dansk) and how to use my camera.
