My journey in the tech world started in 2014, when I was a student in the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. The highlights in my life since then are:
Went to Cornell for my B.S. (2020) and M.Eng (2021) in Electrical and Computer Engineering, where I also:
Was the founding president for the Beta Chi chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon
Was a board member for Women in Computing at Cornell (WICC)
Was a TA for multiple ECE classes
Interned at #BUILTBYGIRLS, ASK Applications, Girls Who Code, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Lyft, and Samsung
Co-founded multiple hackathon organizations:
def hacks( ) hackathon, by high school students for high school students
ProgramHers and the PixieHacks hackathon for women in tech
FwdCode hackathon for unity and social good
Gave a TEDx talk, was a mentor for multiple tech programs, and acted as a judge in several hackathons, all in the purpose of bringing diversity, equity, and inclusion to tech
Tech and advocacy are both important parts of my life, but I’ve diversified my interests since then. Now I spend my time:
Running races
Putting together my zine, Pore Gunk (you can buy physical copies here!)
Volunteering as Treasurer for North of the Panhandle Neighborhood Association (NOPNA)
Volunteering for Alpha Omega Epsilon sorority
