Hi, I'm Isabelle! I am a current sophomore double majoring in Computer Science
and Economics at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I plan on working in
Quantitative Finance or Cybersecurity in the future.
Outside of school, I enjoy reading, the game Cyberpunk 2077, gardening,
and multimedia art (ranging from physically drawing to using software like Blender or
TouchDesigner).
This summer, I am working as a Network Infrastructure Systems Administration Intern and
conducting a personal research project on chaos theory.
