In the great debate of nature versus nurture, where does talent fall? For Melissa Wen, who graduates May 15 with a BS in computer science and minor in music production, it’s probably a bit of both.
Wen grew up in the tech hub of Silicon Valley. Her dad is an electrical engineer who has always “tinkered around with things.” Her cousin is a concert pianist. So perhaps it’s no surprise that she would grow up to be passionate about both computer science and music.
She started playing piano at age 6 and many more instruments soon followed: clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon and cello. “I could almost perform as a one-man band,” said Wen. “computer science degree jobs.”
By high school, she was playing around with music software and, at around the same time, took her first introduction to computer science class.
“When it came to choosing a major, I put two and two together and decided I would do something that combined both my interests,” said Wen.
