Hi, I'm Kalea, a third-year at UC Irvine majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Information & Computer Science, Informatics, and Management. I care a lot about the intersection of technology and human experience — whether that's making digital spaces more accessible, building tools that actually work well for people, or exploring how the mind and machines learn from each other. Outside of class, you'll find me playing violin, wandering somewhere new, or photographing the little things that make life feel beautiful.
