about me 🙂

I am from Los Angeles but am currently living in Boston, where I am a Junior at Tufts University. I am double majoring in Computer Science and International Relations, with a regional focus on the Middle East, and a minor in Arabic. As an experienced full stack developer and a researcher, I aim to apply my technical and academic skills to support humanitarian projects around the world. Outside of my work, I explore hobbies like dance, art, and tattooing.
