I knew going into my undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that I wanted to continue growing in all the different areas I cared about. This is why I decided to double major in computer science and philosophy, while also pursuing a minor in music and playing cello in the UNC Symphony Orchestra. When I left UNC, I had a plan: I wanted to work in tech for a few years to gain that experience, learn as much as I could, and stabilize that as a career option to potentially come back to. But, after a few years, I would branch out and continue exploring my other passions, namely in philosophy, social impact, and music. I didn’t know what that second phase would be, but I knew that I wouldn’t be satisfied with a life that was spent working in tech without pursuing these other paths that I had dreamed about since high school.
