Academic and work experience

Before joining MS&E, I completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA, where I gained experience in machine learning, data analytics, and operations research. My work centered on applying advanced algorithms to solve complex challenges in areas such as forecasting, optimization, and decision-making. Through these experiences, I saw firsthand how data-driven approaches can drive innovation across industries. This sparked my growing interest in the intersection of data science and entrepreneurship, inspiring me to explore how these tools can be leveraged to develop strategies that address real-world challenges and create meaningful social impact.

Impact I hope to have in my field and the world

I am motivated by the potential of data-driven approaches to address real-world challenges. Through interdisciplinary approaches, I aim to create practical solutions by developing innovative algorithms, decision-making tools, and analytical methods for fields such as entrepreneurship, social good, and resource optimization.

Interests and hobbies

I have been traveling and hiking a lot recently. I also enjoy movies, video games, and board games.
