Education

• Informatics as my major taught an interdisciplinary approach to technology covering topics a range of topics including computer science, business, design, user experience, and project management. It encouraged a broad foundation, but deep specialization within a given field. Within this major, I specialized in computer science.
• Mathematics as my minor taught me a broad overview of important topics that apply to computer science and many other fields such as calculus, linear algebra, complex analysis, markov chains, monte-carlo methods, and probability theory.

• Attended while in High School at Sammamish High. Focused on learning fundamentals of computer science such as various data structures and algorithms and applying them to designing video game software.

• Attended while in High School at Sammamish High as part of the Running Start program. Focused on general education prerequisites. Near the end of my time at Bellevue College, I focused on Computer Science and Mathematics courses to prepare me for the University of Washington.
