I am a High School Senior at Bishop Blanchet High School in Seattle currently working with Jon Froehlich, Dhruv Jain, and the rest of the Smarthome Sound Awareness Team as a research intern. I hope to major in Computer Science or Engineering in college. In my spare time, I like to play video games, watch Youtube, and draw.
