About

I was born and raised in Illinois; my hometown is Palatine, a suburb about 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Growing up, I was fortunate to attend the area's excellent public schools, and I'm a proud alumnus of William Fremd High School. Currently, I attend the University of California, Berkeley, where I am a double major in pure mathematics and computer science.

I am active in UC Berkeley's undergraduate computer science teaching community, and I am currently an undergraduate student instructor for CS 61A, UC Berkeley's first computer science course for majors. Outside of school, I write the news for The Daily Californian, the independent student-run newspaper of record for the city of Berkeley. Other than that, some of my favorite activities include photography, doing the New York Times crossword, and contributing to Wikimedia Commons, English Wikipedia, and other free culture projects.
