About Me

Currently based in Cambridge, MA

My Story

My name is Renee, and I am a senior at Harvard studying Computer Science and Government. I am passionate about building technology that drives positive social change. My journey as a military child has given me a unique perspective and cultivated many passions. Each place I lived shaped my perspective on technology, creativity, and human connection.

Currently, I am a Software Engineer Intern at Apple on the Sensing & Connectivity team. We are building an AI agent to curate health data using LLMs. Previously, I was a Data Engineer Intern at the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. I am interested in working on projects that leverage AI to solve real-world challenges. In school, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from web development to data visualization.

Outside of school and work, I am a DJ, producer, and live musician! Music and art are my creative outlets, and I truly believe that creativity in one domain enhances problem-solving in all others.
