I am a sophomore majoring in computer science at the University of Southern California. I am currently a corporate affairs rep for Society of Women Engineers, the director of branding and marketing for Girls in Tech, and an engineer for a start-up PC game called “Quiet of the Leaves.” In my work, I like to incorporate my passion for diversity, equality, and fierceness.
