Hello! My name is Gloria Zhu and I'm a student at MIT studying computer science and design with a minor in comparative media studies.
I am interested in media studies, creative computation, and tech for the public good. This summer, I'll be designing and coding interactive data visualizations at Fathom.
When I'm not in a makerspace* or studio, I can be found drawing or playing indie video games.
