As an Eboard member and Alumni Outreach officer for Amherst College Women in Computer Science (WiSC) since fall 2020, I had facilitated and led alumni lectures, discussions and info sessions on career paths in comp sci. Since fall 2021, I am also Secretary of the Amherst College Computer Science club where I organize and implement activities and administration.

In 5th grade, I wanted to learn about technology but my school didn't offer anything.. So, I found and joined a local Girls Who Code group where I discovered that coding was fun and easy. Over the years, I have continued to learn--and now teach and lead--through GWC. In summer 2016, I was a student in the GWC Summer Immersion Program at Akamai Technologies where I was exposed to skills and jobs at Akamai, visited Watson Health, and toured Amazon robotics while learning how to code. In fall 2020, I became president of GWC College Loops at Amherst College, and in summer 2021, a teaching assistant for the GWC virtual summer immersion program.

In summer 2020, I was accepted to the Google CSSI where I have learned a lot more than coding from live and practice code-along with Google mentors and peers: Pulling all nighters to debug my code is a time management choice; asking for help is not an admission of failure; I am capable of working harder and longer than I could ever have imagined; multitasking is helpful to my productivity until it's not--and recognizing when to stop is a life skill gained from self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-care.

The MIT Media Lab, where I had an internship in summer 2019, is an antidisciplinary research laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its research does not restrict to fixed academic disciplines, but draws from technology, media, science, art and design. In Network Computing Systems, I was undertaker for deceased hard drives, updated the Media Lab website, and learned about network systems configurations.

NCWIT provides technical girls and women with ongoing engagement, visibility and support for their computing-related interests and achievements. Award recipients are selected for their aptitude and interest in IT and computing, solid leadership ability, good academic history, and post-secondary education. I was presented with the award at the Research Maine conference held at U Maine Augusta sponsored by Google.,
