Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I am currently studying Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I switched majors 3 times before landing in CS. It took me so long to figure out what I liked, but I’m so glad to be where I am. In high school, I was heavily involved with FIRST Robotics Competition and now I’m helping plan the Orange County Regional Competition in Southern California. I also had the awesome opportunity to teach for Girls Who Code’s Summer Immersion Program in Los Angeles last summer. STEM has always been a huge part of my life, and I’m extremely thankful for the opportunities I’ve had.

Besides coding, I also enjoy:
-photography/videography
-writing/performing comedy sketches with my friends in the Soulstice League @UCI
-eating cookies
-hiking and being outdoors
-playing guitar (and pretending I’m in a band)
