I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University with a minor in Data Science, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Computer Science in Data Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a 4.0 GPA. My coursework spans algorithms, data structures, machine learning, database management, cloud computing, and applied deep learning, giving me a strong foundation across both theoretical and practical CS concepts.
In terms of teaching and mentoring experience, I have worked one-on-one with peers throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, helping classmates work through programming assignments, debug code, and understand core CS concepts ranging from recursion and sorting algorithms to SQL queries and machine learning pipelines. I am comfortable breaking down complex topics into approachable steps and adapting my explanations based on a student's level of understanding, whether they are a complete beginner or someone preparing for technical interviews.
Professionally, I have interned as a software engineer at Capital One and Nourish'd, where I built full-stack applications and backend systems using Python, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and SQL. I have also contributed to an open-source machine learning library used in healthcare research, which required writing clear documentation and communicating technical concepts precisely. I am most comfortable tutoring subjects including Python, JavaScript, C++, SQL, data structures and algorithms, machine learning fundamentals, and general computer science coursework at the high school and college level.
