About Me
I’m an honors student at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I’m studying Computer Science with a concentration in Cybersecurity and a minor in Mathematics.
I started my undergraduate at Cornell University, where I was recognized as a Meinig Family Cornell National Scholar. I’m continuing my degree at FDU, where I’m an active member of their Honors Program and maintain a 4.0 GPA. I’m currently conducting CAHSI research in Cybersecurity & Machine Learning with Professor Neelu Sinha. My honors thesis project in Cybersecurity is being mentored by Professor Ihab Darwish. In my free time, I have been studying for the Security+ Exam which I will be taking during spring break of 2024.
I am pursuing an internship in the Cybersecurity industry for the Summer of 2024. I’m open to work and am always welcoming new connections!
Activities
🔬 CAHSI Local Research
I’m currently conducting mentored research as part of the CAHSI Local REU program, and engaging in training to strengthen my computing, communication, and professional skills. I’m creating a research plan, maintaining a journal to report on research progress, and creating a research poster to disseminate my research results.
🎲 Founder of FDU Game Dev
Within my first semester at Fairleigh Dickinson, I founded FDU Game Dev, a club where students of any discipline can explore the creation of games and collaborate to make a game of our own. As President, I leverage my expertise in leadership and game development to guide the Executive Board, strategically plan weekly meeting agendas, and provide hands-on support to members throughout the game creation process. Through this initiative, I demonstrate my ability to effectively lead teams, cultivate a supportive community, and translate creative visions into tangible projects within the span of a semester.
