As a dedicated computer science student and musician, I’ve developed a strong passion for problem-solving and creativity; I am constantly seeking new ways to challenge myself and expand my understanding of the obstacles in front of me. I have found a great deal of fulfillment for those desires in computer programming, and I think a large reason for that is programming's qualities of change, unfamiliarity, and innovation. One of the biggest reasons I began to gravitate towards computer science was its ability to continuously grow and change as it forces me to learn and grow with it. Even outside of my academic studies, I never pass up a chance to push myself out of my comfort zone and engage in different problems and circumstances. I believe that in order to reach my full potential in both my academics and my career, I will have to push the boundaries of my knowledge and experience. Whether designing complex algorithms or interacting with innovative software, my ability to solve problems with creative solutions must be constantly exercised to achieve unique goals and solutions.
