Hi. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Let me show you around.

a quick introduction

I studied computer science, then somehow ended up chasing the creative side too.

There isn't a clean split between the three. A marketing plan for a hackathon borrows the same instinct as a chord progression: what's the hook, and how fast do I get to it. A script that saves someone two hours a week gets the same satisfaction as a bridge that finally clicks. I'm early enough in all of it that most days still feel like practice, which is exactly why I keep showing up.

different tabs open, same brain the whole time.

an interview with myself

in her
own words

So, what do you actually do?

Honestly, three overlapping jobs that don't share one title yet. A given day might start with debugging a script before anyone else is awake, move into writing captions for a hackathon nobody's heard of yet, and end with re-recording the same vocal line for the fourth time because it's still not right. None of it is a hobby, exactly, and none of it is 'the real job' either. I'm early enough that everything still counts as reps, so I keep saying yes.

How did you get here?

I started in Computer Science because I liked solving puzzles. Then a club needed someone to run their socials, so I learned marketing by doing it live. Then I started writing songs because I had feelings and a laptop. None of it required permission, just showing up.
