About me
Who I Am
I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, where I stayed for 2 years until my family moved to Hyde Park, Chicago. After the first grade, my family then moved to Naperville, my current home. Some fun facts about me are: my favorite color is green, I've been to five different schools, I think salmon is the best type of meat, and I love bulldogs.
My dad was a former doctor in China, and my mom is a nurse who studied in America. As such, I was raised in a very medically driven household. This wasn't unwelcome to me, as I enjoy learning about biology and medical knowledge. However, I always wanted to find my own path within the career choices my parents urged me to consider. This desire led me to discover computer science and its numerous applications in different fields, including biology. Of course, the complex practices used by experts in the field were far beyond my initial knowledge of printing "hello world" in my terminal. However, it introduced me to an innovative world of combining technology and human prowess.
It's been 2 years since I first learned how to code, and despite the struggle, I have never regretted taking this path.
