It’s official. I graduated!

May 11, 2025 I graduated from Northeastern university. it was such a great week—my family flew up to be with me and I had the support of friends all around. i couldn’t have asked for a better college experience. THe global reach i had was invaluable: from studying abroad in copenhagen, to vienna, to visiting many countries in between and making lifelong friends, i wouldn’t have traded that for anything. my time on the Boston campus shaped my perspective and preferences of cities. I know I want to be in Boston now. The culture, sports, lifestyle, running community, and friends have made me realize how much I value this city. The club basketball team has made the city feel like home—playing the sport we all love while creating friendships and memories along the way. In addition, the professors and peers I met in class have pushed me to try new things I otherwise might have overlooked, such as financial risk management.

Though my next steps weren’t as I had envisioned, I’m excited to stay in Boston for a bit longer while gaining more experience in the financial industry in hopes of accepting a full-time offer shortly.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and helped me along the way. I am proud to be a Husky!

debussy & chopin

in thinking about the kind of music that brings me joy and also makes me feel at home, i wanted to share a few of my favorite composers and pieces.

Claude Debussy was a French composer who wrote during the impressionist period (the late 1800s). his music reflects what i see when i look at claude monet’s paintings, which makes sense because they were at the peak of their careers during the same time.

debussy:

reflets dans l’eau (reflections in the water)

La fille aux cheveux de lin (the girl with the flaxen hair)

Deux arabesques, L. 66: No. 1 Andante con moto

Frederic Chopin was a Polish composer in the romantic period (mid- to late 1800s). His music is distinct and notable for its powerful dynamics and sudden change in tone, which bring a sense of drama and intensity. There are beautiful moments in certain pieces that sound completely separate from the overall piece but pull you in and make you feel emotions that words cannot describe. This is why I love playing Chopin.

chopin:

ballade no. 1 in g minor, op.23

nocturne in e-flat minor, op.9, no.2

etude in a-flat major, op.25, no.1 “aeolian harp”

senior day

today was the women’s club basketball senior game day. we played against club alumni and had family/friends come out to support. it was a lot of fun and i’m going to miss playing with all of my friends. funnily enough a nail biter. we couldn’t score a three-pointer to save our lives, so had to rely on layups and mid-range shots. luckily, we pulled through and won by 3 points. afterwards, we celebrated with chipotle and cupcakes. it was a very fun day and i enjoyed being with everyone.
