Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
Hey! I’m Justine, and I’m currently a junior at Cupertino High School in Cupertino, CA. Besides school, I’m currently involved in the FIRST Robotics Competition with my school’s team (2473), and I also train in and teach contemporary and classical ballet. Another huge focus for me has been working on the HSHacks team and founding and organizing TinoHacks, Cupertino’s first full fledged hackathon targeted towards Bay Area high schoolers, coming in April 2017.

Fun Fact: I have an unreal obsession with memes, most of which come from my robotics team. Oh, and octocats!

Favorite website / app:
Snapchat: I love Snapchat so much; even though I’m not always that active on it, the filters and effects never cease to amaze me. My favorite filter is the dog filter, because it’s really basic, and so am I (also because it’s adorable)! :’^)
