I began my journey as a computer scientist while studying neuroscience and working in a collaborative laboratory.
We were exploring "how the brain secretes the mind." As we reviewed computational models, I asked myself: "How can I assess these models if I don't know how they are implemented?"
And so, I enrolled in my first programming course. And then another. And then another. And then another.
I'm working to translate research into practice, and I see computer science as a vehicle for transformation.
