Hey! My name is Nora, and I'm a 3rd year undergraduate pursuing my bachelor's in computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder. I've always been interested in the potential of technology to improve quality of life. My current interests lie in the fundamentals of computing, particularly in algorithms and computational complexity. I have a vast, multidisciplinary background, including a data engineering internship at Apple, optical engineering research at Stanford, and human-computer interaction and deep learning research at CU Boulder.

Having grown up in Silicon Valley, I have always been surrounded by big tech and opportunities to learn about coding and engineering. My experience with computer science began with building Scratch programs and completing Hour of Code exercises in my free time as an elementary school student. I was also fortunate enough to have attended coding classes both in school and in summer camp throughout my youth. After beginning my program at CU Boulder, I have become even more excited by the potential to use computing to benefit society.
