“My favorite thing about this program is definitely the people around me. I am surrounded by so many intelligent people every day, from professors to undergraduate students, that have helped reinforce my learning. I feel like I'm constantly learning, whether it be small coding tricks to conceptual topics that I may have had an incomplete understanding of, from others. I definitely think that what I have achieved is more of a testament to who I was able to work with throughout my time here and why I was able to stay on top of my work.”
