About
Starting in Fall 2025, I will begin my Master of Science in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, specializing in Machine Learning.
Computer Science Major
- School:Georgia Institute of Technology
- Degree in Progress:Master of Science
- City:Franklin, Tennessee
- Interest areas:AI, ML
Starting in the fall, I will persue my MSCS from the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am an alumni of Harding University who majored in computer science and mathematics, graduating with Honors with Distinction. I am strongly motivated to persue a career in research, culminating in a Ph.D. in computer science with a focus on Machine Learning. My coursework has included rigorous classes on the fundamentals of Computer science with practical applications.
In addition to my coursework, I have had 3 internships, two at Northrop Grumman, and one at the University of Chicago. At Northrop Grumman, I was initially a Systems Administration and Integration Intern and then returned the next year as a Systems Engineering Intern. After my Junior year, I served as a Research Assistant at the University of Chicago.
