I'm a Computer Science student at Oregon State University, graduating in August 2026. I have a B.S. in Economics from the University of Virginia (2021) and two years of experience as a Business Development Analyst. My passion for coding inspired me to switch careers. I'm excited to find internship opportunities where my unique skills and experiences can make a difference.
