About

I am passionate about blending technology with culinary arts to create innovative solutions. This passion stems from my experiences as a home baker and a computer science graduate. I love experimenting with new recipes and integrating tech tools to enhance the baking process. This intersection of disciplines fuels my creativity and drives my vision of developing smart kitchen assistants or AI-driven bakery chains, pushing the boundaries of both fields. My vision in developing and managing projects that intersect different disciplines will allow me to bring fresh perspectives to my learning cohort, bring a practical understanding of how technology can be used creatively in non-traditional fields, and encourage my peers to explore innovative solutions that combine diverse fields and interests. By blending my experiences in baking and computer science, I hope to inspire my peers at iii to think creatively and approach challenges through a multidisciplinary lens.

Why MSSM?

What attracted me to the MSSM program at CMU is its focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, supported by extensive industry connections and practical projects. The opportunity to apply software management lessons in real-world settings, collaborate with ambitious peers, and be part of a diverse, innovative community aligns perfectly with my vision of integrating machine learning and culinary arts to drive technology-driven culinary innovation.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

I am looking to become a technical project manager, leveraging my background in computer science and my strengths in planning and organization. Given my entrepreneurial interest, I believe that by offering insights into developing, managing, and bringing tech products to market, understanding user needs, and successfully managing tech projects, a role as such would be invaluable.
