A Bit About Me

Thanks for visiting. I'm a Software Developer and Chinese language enthusiast.

I'm a fifth year student at Northeastern University in Boston studying Computer Science, Linguistics, and Mandarin Chinese. I have experience with full-stack website development, designing cover art, and surviving in foreign countries. I aspire toward a career where I can express my creativity through engaging projects. Work experiences are learning experiences, and I look forward to working with individuals who are as eager to teach as I am to learn.

When I'm not sitting in front of my computer, I can be found reading high fantasy novels, dancing, or art-ing. Other than that, I'm usually trying my hand at Korean or Japanese through their amazing contributions to society in the forms of K-Pop and Japanese anime.

I have seen each Lord of the Rings movie (extended editions) at least 5 times each, and each Hobbit (extended) at least 3 times.

Tl;dr?

Ciarra = Natural and programming languages, life-long learning, and world-building!
