Any view with the clocktower in the background. No matter what time or season, the clocktower always remains picturesque.

INFO 2950: Introduction to Data Science – Teaching Assistant
The nature! Cornell has, arguably, one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. As I run from class to class, I can’t help but stop each time for a bit, taking in the breathtaking views from the bridge and listening to the water crashing against the rocks.
I entered Cornell with a bit of a mixed bag of interests for the future. The distribution requirements at the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) allowed me to explore a wide range of disciplines. Taking classes in foreign policy, social networks, Spanish, and more not only broadened my horizons but also helped me narrow down my specialization. Ultimately, I decided to specialize in data science because I believed it was the ideal medium to combine my passions for mathematics, programming, econometrics, and social impact.
CAS has proven to be an excellent fit for my data science interests. I’ve been able to double major in both information science and economics, which has provided me with a strong foundation in machine learning, econometrics, and data ethics. This knowledge has given me a deeper understanding of how data science can be practically applied to address society’s most pressing challenges.
Through CAS, I’ve actively integrated technology with the humanities, whether through coursework or the insightful projects I undertake through the Milstein Program.
I’m particularly interested in Data Science, so I’m double majoring in information science and economics. My classes focus on machine learning, mathematics, data ethics, and econometrics. What I love most about my major combination is its interdisciplinary nature. I’ve been able to develop my technical skills while gaining a practical understanding of the ethical implications of these skills. My goal is to use technology to make a positive impact on my community, and these classes are providing me with the foundation I need to achieve that.
I believe that Cornell stands out for its unique offerings in this area. The technology and computing courses at Cornell strike a perfect balance between ethics and technicality, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive understanding of both aspects.
Cornell Career Network! They’ve always been there for me, whether for a resume review or for grad school advice. I discovered them through the Cornell website and scheduled a meeting to visit them.
I joined clubs and found study partners in class. Some of my closest friends are from my debate team and previous classes.

I applied to Cornell for several reasons. Firstly, I wanted to attend a school surrounded by nature, as I enjoyed hiking and running. Secondly, I believed Cornell offered a wider range of academic resources compared to other schools, given its multiple colleges and large student body. As someone interested in exploring various fields, I thought Cornell would be the ideal place to do so.
Okenshields! I am aware that this is a controversial opinion. However, I firmly believe that Okenshields has delicious food and I find myself eating there at least once a day. My favorite things to eat there are Macaroni and Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Barbeque Chicken. I also love how the dining hall looks. It feels as if I’m dining in a secret medieval castle.
Run and hike! Ithaca has endless scenic walking trails and I spend time on the weekends exploring different ones with friends.
