About
Hi, I'm Kristen. I am a Junior at Stanford University in the Mechanical Engineering program. I started out in the Biocomputation track of Computer Science, but found myself wanting to combine my engineering and problem-solving skills with more hands-on, creative work. I have worked on a couple of projects outside of class, and can't wait to start another one.
I'm learning SolidWorks and drawing, and from my Biocomputation days I have a solid background in programming and human biology. When I have some free time, I read, play the piano, or go out for some boba. -
