Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a senior at MIT majoring in computer science with a minor in writing. I enjoy combining computer science with journalism and creating innovative ways for journalists to gather and visualize data and readers to get the most out of their news-reading experience. Aside from all that, I like watching extreme sports, going bargain shopping, and watching cheesy TV shows.
