Plans
I am currently accepted into Northwestern University as a Computer Science major. I plan on exploring and possibly switching to other areas of study, such as Applied Mathematics, Material Science, or Piano Performance. In the meantime, I hope to continue doing independent math research and writing and publishing on TeenInk. I wish to write and publish a novel in the future.
