Definitely super excited to experience developing a product from start to finish! I’m also looking forward to learning about my peers and mentors’ past experiences and takeaways in tech.

The most effective way to grow is by learning from failures and avoiding repeating them.

I love to run in forest preserves/parks!

I can cut vegetables super fast! I wanted to be a part-time line chef in high school because of it.

I honestly can’t work with music most days, but I love some soft pop when I can (send me your playlists!).

Q: Where would you go with unlimited PTO?

I’ve been wanting to visit SE Asia for a while now, and I’d love to backpack in a different country!

Being outside in nature is always so refreshing! I especially love walking in forest-y areas.

I ran two half marathons in the past few years!

I’m hoping to contribute new insights into company practices and the code as a fresh set of eyes. I’d also like to add to the positive and compassionate culture here!
