Fun fact: I became legally able to marry people in the state of Kansas so that I could perform my brother's wedding last year.

Hi, I'm Jaden Tennis (they/them/theirs). I was born in Buffalo Grove, IL and lived in Fort Mill, SC, and later at a state public boarding school. I hope to study English and Computer Science, especially Natural Language Processing (which involves computer understanding of human language). I encountered this field while doing summer research through my high school and fell in love with it. I’m most excited about the summer research component of PSP so that I can explore my passion for that field or new aspects of CS. When I’m not reading or programming, I enjoy knitting, cooking, and kayaking.
