About Me

Who Am I?

Ada Luo

My name is Ada Luo and I was born and raised in New York City. I am the oldest child born to immigrant parents and am a first generation college student.

I am a junior studying Information Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. I am concentrating in Interactive Technologies and minoring in Computer Science.

I came into Cornell University as an Environmental Engineering major, but after taking an introductory course to computer science using the Python, I fell in love with coding and explored more of the computing industry.

When I was exploring, I found out about Information Science and decided that this was the career path I want to take. I realized I had a passion for designing websites and building applications that other people can use.
