Summary
My natural curiosity lends itself well to interdisciplinary projects. I’m very interested in how inanimate data pertains to real people, and it’s my goal to be able to leverage data in order to design systems that directly benefit the people who they are meant to serve. I appreciate the fact that curiosity is an essential part of success of any sort, and I seek to employ my curiosity, creativity, and empathy in every endeavor I pursue.
