I'm Ben,

I’m a student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Decision Science and Human-Computer Interaction.

Through college, I’ve become involved with student government leadership and the orientation program. I’m also involved in several research labs, ranging from topics from psychology, economics, design, and robotics.

My inquisitive nature makes me explore new hobbies and try new things. I’m a drummer in a rock band, hip-hop dancer, rock climber, and competitive archer. I’m always excited to meet new people, travel to different areas, and learn new skills!
