Zane is currently an undergraduate student pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science at the University of Washington in Tacoma. Zane's goal is to go to graduate school to get a degree in chaos theory, ultimately finding an office where they can stare at fractals for the rest of their working career, and likely into retirement! They hope to bring their excitement for math to SUMM and show everyone that math is more than just numbers! It's also pretty pictures and finding creative and fun ways to solve problems!

Outside of SUMM and school, Zane collects retro video games, consoles, and accessories, in addition to playing a myriad of trading card games, but mainly Magic the Gathering (MtG)! They play near the highest competitive level, primarily in Modern and Pauper but would love to one day win the lottery and play Legacy. They were previously a level 1 judge for MtG events, and have stood judge for their local game store before it had to close during the pandemic. They seek to make new friendships and teach people how to play MtG and the critical thinking it involves!
