Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be your Head TA this semester. My name is Nahee, and I’m a Senior majoring in Data Science. I also worked as a co-instructor for the BJC Summer Computer Science Academy and have led two BJC workshops. Like many of you, I first discovered computer science through CS10 and fell in love with it from there. I made some of my best friends in the class and created precious memories along the way. Outside of class, I love dressing up, going on long night walks, and making caffeinated drinks at home. Feel free to talk to me about anything - school, life, pets, people, coffee, and more. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey there! I’m Jaclyn, a Junior studying Data Science, and I’m so excited to be part of the CS10 team! I came to Cal with zero coding experience and I’m always happy to chat or help out, so don’t hesitate to reach out! In my free time, you’ll probably find me doing escape rooms or hunting down new boba spots. This is currently my favorite emoji: 🫪

Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m in my Senior studying EECS. I like to run and lift but in a chill way. On campus, you can always find me in VLSB choosing a song to listen to rather than actually locking in. I am such a huge fan of movies and music; feel free to give me any recommendations. Cheers!
