Student, University of Illinois at Chicago

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Illinois at Chicago with a concentration in Software Engineering. I have a special interest in cybersecurity and creating mobile applications to make the world more accessible. I am also an undergraduate teaching assistant and a Girls Who Code mentor, teaching students about computer science to help increase the diversity in the field. I am the Vice President of the Women in Computer Science organization and the Society of Women Engineers, where I hope to inspire the next generation of women engineers. I have recently completed a Front End Engineering internship at AWS, and when I am not at work or in school, I am learning about new startups and new ventures in the technology industry.
