Stanford Class of '26 (applying to grad school)

I am a student currently studying computer science and music. While working on projects from real-time renderers to language models, I have developed a diverse skillset a knack for quick learning. As a musician, I was a nominee for Orange County Artist of the Year, and my experience in both ensemble and leadership positions in jazz, orchestra, and choir has taught me valuable lessons about teamwork and dedication.
