Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to pursue a career in some form of mathematics. More specifically, this may include one of several kinds of engineering or actuary science.

Graduate school interests

I plan to pursue some level of graduate studies after my undergraduate degree is complete. This may depend on whatever career upon which I ultimately decide, but I will most likely attend Georgia Tech to earn this degree.

Outside the classroom

Some of my primary hobbies include solving Rubik's cubes and various kinds of music. I have solved many types of Rubik's cube-related puzzles since middle school. This includes 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, dodecahedron 'Megaminxes,' and tetrahedron 'Pyraminxes.' However, the one I solve the most is the 3x3x3, and I have reached a point to which I have solved it in just over seven seconds. My musical interests expand from piano and guitar to trumpet and even a bit of experience with a drumset. My primary instruments are piano and trumpet. I began teaching myself piano around early 2018, and I began playing trumpet in my 2013 sixth grade band class.
