WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR PATH TO CAL?

I grew up in San Jose, just an hour south of here! I knew I wanted to stay in California for college, and after visiting Cal I fell in love with the campus. Three years later and I am so thankful that my path led me here!

HOW MUCH PROGRAMMING HAVE YOU DONE (& WHAT LANGUAGES)?

When I came to Cal, I was super intimidated by Berkeley CS because I had never truly programmed before. After taking CS10, I had the confidence to continue down this path! Along the way, I have written programs in Snap!, Python, SQL, Scheme, Java, HTML, C, and even Assembly Code.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

I love watching TV. Some of my favorite shows are: Law and Order: SVU, Seinfeld, Bob’s Burgers, The Office, The Good Place, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, Arrested Development, Friends, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Great British Baking Show, Good Eats, and pretty much any true crime docuseries!

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TALENTS & SKILLS?

I am really good at giving presents.

HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING REMARKABLE? HAS ANYTHING MEMORABLE HAPPENED TO YOU?

I got really sick on a family trip, bursting my eardrum in Las Vegas and throwing up at the Grand Canyon.

WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS SEMESTER?

This semester, I will be taking CS 161, CS 186, Math 113 and IEOR 169 and teaching CS10 Lab and Discussion. I will also be trying to be the best person and friend I can possibly be!
