About Me
Hello! I'm Honor Cho, a Cognitive Science student at UCLA with a passion for understanding the intersection of human cognition, technology, and environmental sustainability.
My background spans mathematics, programming, and clean technology. I've had the privilege of working with SCAQMD on clean transportation initiatives, helping advance the transition to zero-emission vehicles and sustainable solutions.
I'm driven by curiosity about how we think, learn, and interact with technology—and how we can use these insights to create a more sustainable future.
