I was born in Queens, New York and spent most of my life living in New York City. I attended the Bronx High School of Science and graduated in 2003. Throughout high school, I became very interested in creating web pages. My interest in web design and programming eventually helped me choose CMU's SCS department as my choice of college. When I am not busy doing work, I am playing IM sports (volleyball, ultimate, racquetball) and involved with HAPAS, a multicultural organization. I'm not currently sure about my future aspirations but am interested in usability.
