Ideas into systems and stages.
I'm Ciana, a senior at Horace Mann School. I care about ethics, clarity, and how ideas travel — looking at technology through a more humanities-driven lens at tactandtech.com (@tact.and.tech). Most of my work starts as words: essays, Futurem magazine, and the Tactical Tech podcast. Code and performance are where those ideas become tools you can use and moments you can feel.
Outside of school, I'm a nationally ranked competitive golfer and co-captain of my varsity team, a choral singer selected for the American Choral Directors Association's National Honor Choir, and a writer published in The Concord Review and Blue Marble Review.
