Computer Science @ Saint Joseph's University, May 2026 | Minor: Data Science | Prev SWE Intern @ Medidata Solutions | Mental Health Tech Advocate
I'm a software engineer passionate about building privacy-first applications that make a real impact. Currently pursuing my CS degree with a minor in Data Science, I'm focused on creating accessible technology—especially in the mental health space.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the basketball court, writing poetry, shooting photos, or mentoring early undergrads.
