Hi there! I’m Kelly Lampotang. I’m a sophomore at the University of Southern California where I’m studying computer engineering and computer science. I’m passionate about helping others discover their interests in tech and recently co-founded and hosted AthenaHacks, Southern California’s largest all-female hackathon.
