More me:
I’ve always had a pension for numbers, graduating top of my class in Germany and receiving awards from the national physics and math societies.
During that time, I mainly pursued my 2 passions, tennis and sciences. I enjoyed tutoring my peers in Math, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry while also working as a tennis coach for kids, teenagers, and adults. These two jobs improved my interpersonal skills and helped me understand the importance of patience and a positive mindset when dealing with frustrating situations.
I moved to the U.S. to play Division 1 college tennis and chose finance as my major for its prevalent application in Europe. However, after trying one computer science course for fun, I fell in love with the logical thinking of problem-solving. I switched majors and overloaded my courses, completing 2.5 years of credits within one year. My hard work ethic and swift comprehension paid off as I earned a 4.0 major GPA despite having no prior coding experience and still partaking in a full load of a division 1 student-athlete.
