Why Brown? “I chose Brown to ensure that I could develop my passion for being a lifelong learner while exploring endless academic opportunities. I plan on not only learning about computer science, economics, and music as a specialist, but also learning from the perspective of related disciplines such as applied mathematics, engineering, and public affairs as a generalist. With Brown's open curriculum, I will be able to utilize resources that will ultimately help me develop a start-up in the music production software industry.”
