I grew up in Saratoga, CA, where I taught myself how to code in HTML and CSS. In the summer of 2005 I worked as an intern at DesignWorks, a marketing and graphic design agency where I helped to redesign their web portfolio and clean up images for a flash animation for one of their clients. In the summer of 2006, I had an internship at Pertria, a real estate investment firm where I worked on special projects for the President and Director of Sales of the company. This past summer, I had an internship at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, CA, where I supported central engineering and the 3D-Product Definition team to work towards streamlining processes and reduce error downstream.

At school, I am a TA for Engineering Processes and volunteer to teach LEGO Robotics to local elementary school students through the Center for Initiatives in Pre-College Education (CIPCE).
