Currently pursuing a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics at Northeastern University with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence. Dedicated to integrating mathematical principles with advanced computational methods to innovate and advance the frontier of AI. Enrolled in challenging courses that equip me with the tools to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges. Passionate about the practical application of AI and mathematical concepts. Actively seeking collaborations and opportunities to further enhance my skills and contribute to cutting-edge projects in the tech and AI sectors.

In my pursuit of broadening academic horizons beyond the confines of Computer Science studies at Northeastern University, I embarked on an exhilarating summer journey at the London School of Economics (LSE). This decision was rooted in my passion for diversification and the desire to explore subjects outside my primary discipline. At LSE, I delved into the intricate worlds of Marketing and Real Analysis. The experience was enlightening, not just for the academic rigor and global perspectives LSE is renowned for, but also for the realization of how fascinating and interconnected these subjects can be. These courses not only enriched my understanding but also sparked an appreciation for the vastness and depth of knowledge outside my primary field. Moreover, the summer abroad experience was transformative on a personal level. Immersing myself in London's vibrant culture and lifestyle, I had the chance to envision a future within this dynamic metropolis.

In the midst of my demanding International Baccalaureate curriculum, I seized the opportunity to further broaden my academic horizons by attending the prestigious Harvard Summer School during the summer of my 11th grade. This online venture was not merely about augmenting my knowledge but also about pushing my boundaries, even when juggling the rigorous demands of the IB. Attending Harvard, even virtually, was a source of immense pride for my family, a testament to the dedication and drive I brought to my studies. Beyond the academic enrichment, the experience presented invaluable networking opportunities. I had the privilege of connecting with peers and mentors from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, further solidifying my belief in the importance of continuous learning and collaboration. This journey served as a poignant reminder that, with perseverance and the right opportunities, one can always find avenues to excel and grow.
