About Me 😄

I talked a little bit about myself above, but I'll give a little more formal summary of who I am below!

As a senior at UC Berkeley, I've enjoyed working as an academic intern for CS61A and CS61B and being actively a part of SWE, Codeology, and AWE on campus.

In high school, I worked as an instructor assistant for Kode With Klossy and created She STEMs, a STEM summer camp and workshop series I started in 2018 to empower marginalized genders to feel confident and capable through STEM.

I've been fortunate to have my studies supported by organizations and companies like Amazon, the Entertainment Software Association, PG&E, PBWC, Bio-Rad, and several others. I am extremely grateful for their contributions, support, and mentorship towards my undergraduate education.

In the future, I hope to explore computer graphics and new media to understand and create ways to better connect the world.

What I'm Up To 💪

TA, CS 184 Computer GraphicsJan 2023 - Present

This spring, I'm teaching CS184 for the first time. This was one of my favorite courses at Berkeley, and I'm excited for what the semester has in store! You can view some of my teaching resources here.

President, UCB Society of Women Enginers SectionAug 2020 - Present

SWE has been my home for the past 4 years! SWE's mission is to advance the careers and journeys of women and non-binary students pursuing engineering. I oversee SWE's 40 officers and 350+ members to provide a professional and academic community for marginalized genders pursuing engineering on campus.💜

Project Member, Codeology Feb 2020 - Present

Codeology was one of the first spaces on campus that helped me explore a variety of computer science discplines. Each semester, I work on a fun technical project with a small team. You can see some of the projects below :)

Animator, UCBUGG (3D Modeling & Animation) Aug 2020 - Present

In UCBUGG, I learn the basics of the animation pipeline from story to rigging, shading, lighting, and compositing using primarily Maya and Renderman. You can see a few below in my projects section.

What I've Done 💫

Production Technology Intern, Walt Disney Animation StudiosMay 2022 - Aug 2022

Animation and graphics were my spark into the world of technology, so finally being able to work at a studio that formed so much of my chidlhood memories was a dream! I worked on the internal pipeline infrasturcture technology team that fuels the versioining of assets across the studio. Using OpenTelemetry, I learned about the importance of telemetry data for client-side services and how to integrate them.

Software Development Engineering Intern, Amazon Web ServicesJune 2021 - Aug 2021

I returned to Amazon's internal builder tools team, Amazon Security Automated Patching (ASAP), where I developed an error reporting notification service to help customers resolve their pipeline deployment issues and increase awareness about the state of their deployment pipelines using Java and AWS Services. As a former AFE intern, I also helped onboard the team's first-year AFE interns and assisted them with their project.

Core Server Engineering Intern, Warner Bros. Games Boston Jan 2021 - June 2021

For 6 months, I interned with Warner Bros. Games on their Game of Thrones: Conquest mobile game. I had a blast learning about the underlying AWS that goes into hosting, running, and tracking games, and all the details within engineering aside from gameplay that happen in the games industry.

Software Development Engineering Intern, Amazon Web ServicesMay 2020 - Aug 2020

During my 14-week internship, I worked with the Developer Tools organization. I worked on the software and systems that help Amazon’s millions of internal hosts to be automatically patched with the latest security updates to keep them current and secured. My team manages the host security to allow Amazon engineers to focus on their services, code changes, and new features to the customer.

I specifically worked on two customer features: one feature to patch multiple hosts and another feature to display the security status on my team's portal built primarily using React JS and Ruby on Rails.

Professional Development & Mentorship Officer, Association of Women in EE&CS (AWE)Aug 2020 - Dec 2021

As an officer, I work on preparing women in EE&CS at Berkeley to achieve their career goals and work with companies to provide educational experiences for members. The prior year, I also led AWE's mentorship program, transitiong from in-person to a remote format where I increased connectivity through Slack engagement, mentorship rewards, and themed challenges each month.

Executive Director, She STEMs 2017-2020

I started She STEMs in my junior year of high school after I felt isolated and uncomfortable at hackathons and in my computer science class. I wanted to create a safe space where students can learn about computer science and engineering in a comfortable setting and explore all that computer science can do. The program started out as scrappy workshops at my local library and eventually led to a two-week summer camp with company tours and speakers at Facebook, Google X, and Intuitive Surgical. Our program wouldn't have been possible without the support of NCWIT AspireIT and LITAS for Girls.

Instructor Assistant, Kode With Klossy Summer 2018, Summer 2019

For two years, I taught alongside three instructors in San Francisco (2019) and Denver (2018) to teach a group of 25 girls about web applications (HTML, CSS, JS, Ruby on Rails) over the course of two weeks. I helped mentor students, assist with conceptual and coding support, and organized daily logistics.

Research Apprentice, San Jose State University2018

I worked with Professor Youngsoo Kim and was advised under Jyosori Manaswitha. Engaged in developing an Acceleration Overlay for novice students. Worked with Python on FGPAS via Jupyter Notebooks and designed a Python overlay on the Xilinix PYNQ-Z1 board.

Organizer, GirlCon2018 - 2019

As sponsorship director and national director, I worked with a team of high school students to organize a one-day conferenced demonstrating how STEM intersects with a variety of industries. Facilitated communications with corporate sponsors and influencers including Karlie Kloss and Sheryl Sandberg.

Marketing Intern, ChickTech2017 - 2018

I helped develop marketing material and contacted potential sponsors for ChickTech's first annual conference, ACT-W.
