about

I recently graduated from Georgia State University with a Bachelor's in Data Science (Dec '23). Last summer, I completed two SDE internships, and I'm currently looking for full-time SDE roles. I'm also applying to grad school in order to earn a Master's degree in Data Science. My future career goal is to become a Data Scientist or a Machine Learning Engineer.

Some non-technical fun facts:

  • I'm fluent in Arabic and conversational in Spanish. Currently, I'm working on learning Korean and Turkish.
  • My favorite things to cook are donuts, dinner rolls, shrimp fried rice, and a hearty bowl of chicken ramen.
  • I love reading historical novels. My favorites are Code Name Hélène by Ariel Lawhon and Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys.
  • In my opinion, the best TV Show with the greatest redemption arc of all time is Avatar: The Last Airbender.
