Why did you choose to attend RPI?
I chose to attend RPI because it offers a unique opportunity to conduct research in both Computer Science and Cognitive Science. My passion lies in exploring how artificial intelligence can interact with humans.
What is your favorite RPI memory?
I am from Houston, Texas, so before coming to Troy, I had never built a snowman, so I was able to build a snowman and have snowball fights!
What is your favorite thing to do in Troy?
My favorite thing to do in Troy is to go to the taco shop to sit outside on their patio and laugh with my friends.
