I am an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, majoring in Economics with a quantitative emphasis and a minor in Statistics. My academic training has focused on understanding complex systems, decision-making under constraints, and the structural forces that shape unequal outcomes. Over time, I realized that analyzing problems was only the first step—I wanted to move toward shaping better systems rather than simply describing them.

This shift led me to design as a way of thinking rather than a purely visual practice. Through research and consulting-oriented work, I became increasingly interested in how systems influence human behavior, access, and opportunity, and how thoughtful design can translate insight into real-world impact. I am drawn to environments that value curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration, where uncertainty is treated as a space for learning rather than something to avoid.

I bring a strong analytical foundation, a high level of energy, and a deep motivation to challenge myself in unfamiliar domains. I am now seeking training in design innovation to better integrate data, systems thinking, and human-centered inquiry—so that the work I do can meaningfully support people and communities in need.

I’m drawn to paddleboarding for the balance it demands—between control, uncertainty, and steady progress.

I experience and appreciate life through food—by cooking, sharing, and being present in everyday moments.

Badminton sharpens my reflexes, focus, and responsiveness in fast-moving environments.

I use photography as a way to observe spaces, people, and everyday systems more carefully.

I enjoy traveling, For me, moving through cities not to collect destinations, but to encounter stories.
What draws me most is the quiet warmth of chance meetings—unexpected conversations with strangers that linger longer than the journey itself.
