About
I am pursuing a Computational Modeling and Data Analytics program at VirginiaTech. I have always enjoyed STEM all through school with a special interest in Math. Over the last few years, I have taken on a few internships that gave me better insight into my current field of study. I enjoy the gym, eating at new places and traveling.
