Her interest in data science sparked from her contributions as a member of the Data Science Fellowship at UCSB in 2020 and her research internship with the Acoustics Species Identification Lab at UC, San Diego during Summer 2022. Her background in computing and data science have prepared her well to pursue a Masters of Environmental Data Science at the Bren School UCSB.
As a aspiring future data scientist, her purpose is to use technology for environmental and social good, combat the effects of climate change and leave Earth better than how she found it.
