I’m excited to share that I have completed all Honors program requirements after finishing my final Honors Advanced Studies course in Fall 2025, a full 1.5 years ahead of schedule. The program requirements I completed include the Honors First‑Year Experience, academic writing, a year of community service, foundational courses, two colloquia, an advanced studies course, quantitative coursework, an internship/research experience (Honors Immersed), and the year‑long Bachelor’s Essay.
The Honors program connected me with faculty mentors, opened early research and unique learning opportunities, and provided meaningful ways to give back to the campus community. In my Honors Immersed project I trained a model to identify malicious Python packages, and my Bachelor’s Essay produced a tool to help developers identify and visualize potential Python vulnerabilities in the software supply chain. Utilizing the research connections from these projects, I am now working to further develop and publish this work. These experiences strengthened my academic writing, quantitative analysis, project management, scientific communication, and teamwork skills.
Completing the Honors program early means I can now shift my focus to publishing my research, securing an internship, and working on career‑advancing personal projects.
