Plans
I plan to study Statistics and Machine Learning along with an interest in Computer Science or Cybersecurity in college. I have a lifelong love of math and this field will help me combine my love of math with cutting edge advancements in technology. I am interested in exploring study abroad opportunities because I believe it is important to have a global perspective as we work together. I plan to continue my leadership roles in college by being involved in Student Government or other clubs.
