Yanzhen Chen

Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science Student

University of Toronto student passionate about software development, data science, and creating innovative solutions.

About Me

I'm a Mathematics and Statistics student at the University of Toronto with a minor in Computer Science. I have a strong foundation in programming principles and a passion for building efficient, user-friendly applications.

My academic journey combines mathematical rigor with practical software development skills. I'm particularly interested in data science, web development, and creating innovative solutions that solve real-world problems.

Outside of academics, I'm actively involved in the Computer Science Student Union as Vice President of External Relations, where I secure sponsorships and organize events to enhance professional development opportunities for students.

I'm currently seeking internship opportunities where I can apply my skills in software development, data analysis, and project management to contribute to meaningful projects.
