I spent most of my life in Cambodia before moving to Washington to complete my associate's degree at Green River Community College. I then transferred to UW Seattle to pursue Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in mechatronics. I've always been interested in tech innovations and robotics, which was why I joined the UW Sun Lab, where I can utilize my background in automation while developing my experience in ML to advance "self-driving labs."

I cycle between multiple hobbies, but recently I've stuck with playing board games, video games, and rock climbing. I also love traveling.
