She/Her/Hers
MSSM, 2026

This is how to say my name:

 

What unique skills or interests do you bring to the iii?

I bring a mix of CS, design, and HCI skills with a passion for creating accessible, human-centered solutions. I love working across disciplines and translating ideas into real impact. At the iii, I’m excited to collaborate with others who care about building thoughtful, people-first technology.

Why MSSM?

I chose the MSSM program because it combines everything I love—computer science, design, and business. It’s rare to find a program that values all three equally. I'm really excited to meet people who are just as passionate about building cool, meaningful things, and to learn from people in the industry who’ve actually done it. MSSM feels like the perfect place to grow and figure out what kind of impact I want to make.
