im a 3rd year in computer science and entrepreneurship! I was originally on the pre medical track where I was studying biochemistry and computer science but I think I have made up my mind that I don’t want to go to medical school anymore! ain’t nobody got time for that 🫡

my family is originally from The Gambia, West Africa, aka, ‘the smiling coast of Africa’ 🇬🇲, so you are always going to see or hear me laughing, so you might have to mentally prepare for that… i laugh a lot idk I just feel like the world is so funny!

some fun facts about me are: ☕️ this will be my first quarter as a TA 👼🏾 I have a twin brother (im cuter) 🌍 I speak 5 languages ⚽️ I played competitive soccer for a couple of years and won best 11 soccer players in washington state at one point 📿 super interested in linguistics and comparative religion. ✍🏾i enjoy writing! 🏃🏾‍♀️in middle school, i had the fastest mile run time (shes a trackstarrrr) 📱super interested in the world of tech startups!!!

you can find me on the ed board, or in the cse dungeon! hmu if you ever want to chat about anything or ever need any advice.
