Youna is a junior Stat/ML major minoring in CS and sociology. She is from Irvine, CA but Pennsylvania is now the fifth state she calls home. She is especially interested in machine learning applied to language processing and healthcare technology. Outside of classes, you might find her attending concerts, on the slopes, getting lost in a book, or probably just under a pile of blankets.
Xuan is a sophomore in ECE from the Philippines. He likes cooking, and is saddened by the lack of proper seafood in Pittsburgh. He also still doesn't know how long a yard is, and often questions why America does not use the metric system. At night, you can most certainly find him in Gates cramming a coding assignment, even though he's a TA for a CS class.

Iris is a freshman in CIT from Atlanta, GA where she has lived her entire life before coming to CMU. She is terrified of the cold weather here and misses mild winters.
