I am a Junior at Princeton University majoring in Computer Science. Other than coding, I enjoy learning new languages, the last one being Chinese. I try to travel whenever I get the chance and would choose Switzerland as my destination if I could only choose one country in the world. I am a big Manchester United fan and also play in defence when I play soccer myself.
