In college, I majored in Physics but mixed it up with some CS courses through my Data Science minor. I designed my coursework to build up the technical skills I’d need for research and SWE internships. I liked the interesection of Physics and CS so it made perfect sense to keep that momentum going into the research I’m working on now.

MATH 321 (Vector & Complex Analysis) and ART 100 (Introduction to Art) were my top picks. MATH 321 was tough (apparently the hardest course @ Wisconsin) but rewarding, deepening my understanding of linear algebra. ART 100 was quite fun, especially since I took it with my best friend. We explored museums and concerts, which made the course engaging and memorable.
