Hey! I am currently an undergrad at Princeton, and I did a fair bit of tutoring in high school- my main areas of strength are Math, Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, and Italian! I am planning to major in Computer Science at Princeton, as well as minor (certificate) in Statistics & Machine Learning, and Italian.
Outside of academics, I love playing trombone, which I’ve been playing since 4th grade in a wide variety of ensembles- currently, I play in the Princeton University Orchestra and in a small jazz group. I also make music for fun under the artist name “Arbas” in my free time. Sports-wise, I love swimming and tennis- I used to swim competitively for a club team and for my high school team, and now swim with the Princeton club swim team, and I also played a bit of tennis for my high school team (My favorite tennis player is Rafa, hands down!).
