I am a software engineer at LinkedIn Learning, where I help to build the platform that powers all of LinkedIn Learning! Akin to that, in the long run, I hope to use technology to build products that benefit my community and empower the voices of others. I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Computer Science and Interdiscplinary Honors. During my time at the UW, I held a variety of roles -- as a research assistant in the UW Security and Privacy Lab Research, as an Allen School peer adviser as well as the President/Senior Adviser of the UW Society of Women Engineers. I also took some time off from school to intern as a software engineer at some cool tech companies including Facebook, LinkedIn, Stripe, and Uber. I'm a sucker for recognition and feel privileged to have been a TUNE House Scholar and a Neo Scholar as well as awarded the Allen School Outstanding Computer Science Senior Award and the Husky 100 award. Outside of work and in my free time, I love dancing, travelling, and gorging on guacamole.
