Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I’m a junior at Wellesley College studying math and computer science and I’m from Chicago. I grew up in a family where neither of my parents spoke English or went to college! I am a First Generation college student and studying at Wellesley has helped me to embrace and appreciate that aspect of my life. When I’m not working on psets, I love watching Brooklyn Nine Nine and trying new foods! I’m an adventurous eater.

Fun fact: I used to help out a lot at my family’s Chinese takeout restaurant!

Through my four years of high school, I always thought I would go to a technical, engineering school. I swore to myself that I would never major in either math or computer science. Before senior year, I hadn’t even considered a liberal arts college. I never even visited Wellesley before orientation.
