1. What are your academic and/or professional goals?

   My professional goals are to either be a security engineer or become a security project/program manager.

2. Tell us about a significant moment in your journey at CMU so far.

   It was probably spring of 24 right before the semester started. I had a really huge kickback at my apartment for two of my friends' birthdays, and it was so much fun. We played so many games and had an overall great night. My friends/classmates still talk about that kickback today. The whole event was a night to remember for sure.

3. What do you like to do in your time away from academic work? 

   I love to play volleyball, read romance novels, watch anime/kdramas, and try new things.

4. Tell us about your last memorable meal. What was it, where did you have it, and who were you with?

   I went to Chadol in Rockville, Maryland. It's Korean BBQ, and it's definitely better than Iron Age (IYKYK). I was there with a really good friend of mine, and we were just catching up on life and laughing. Also they gave me Christmas gifts, which I wasn't expecting at all, and it was very sweet.

5. What’s your favorite thing about Pittsburgh?

   I love the Mount Washington lookout that looks over the entire city of Pittsburgh. It is so nice, especially at night. Everyone should definitely go check it out.
