🌲 Computer Science + Classics @ Stanford

Hi there, I'm Tatiana!

I’m interested in the intersection of technology and social good. My early experiences as a Latin TA in high school, a kindergarten teacher the summer before college, and a counselor at Camp Kaleidoscope helped me discover how fulfilling it is to support others in realizing their potential.

At Stanford, I explored computer science for the first time, and it opened up new possibilities for combining technical innovation with human impact. As I continue honing my technical skills, I’m focused on building resources and communities that empower individuals to thrive. While emerging technologies continue to reshape our world, I believe that investing in people’s growth remains a vital way to drive collective progress.

Outside of school, I love corgis, Classics (especially Ovid and Catullus), Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, podcasts, and mini pigs.
