What are some of your hobbies, talents, and skills?
I like drawing and buying groceries, but I’ve been having a hard
time deciding which one I’m better at. I’m happy to report that I
practice both on a regular basis.

What are some of your hobbies, talents, and skills?
I've played piano for 15ish years now. I try to bake when I have
the time to feel especially exhausted or burned out, since the
mechanical nature of baking is a nice break. I also nominally
play tennis, in that I used to play a lot, but I recently haven’t
found time when the weather has been acceptable.

I released my first full-sized game last year. It's called
Super Dunkman.

What gets you most excited about computer science?
I enjoy building things for myself and watching things work
together. I'm also a big fan of the crossover between math theory
and computer science theory.

What was your first exposure to computer science?
I had never even seen code, much less written it, until I got to
college. I thought computer science sounded pretty interesting but
some of my friends told me I would destroy my GPA by taking 142
because it was too difficult. Finally, the summer before my
junior year I decided to try CSE 142 for fun, and I ended up
loving it and deciding to pursue it further.

What are some of your hobbies, talents, and skills?
I spent most of my life singing in various choirs, and then I
got really involved in musical theatre about 6 or 7 years ago.
When I started college I decided that I wanted to study musical
theatre as well as CS, so I'm working on two majors right now.
Last quarter I was in the UW production of Pippin, but I'm taking
this quarter off from doing shows to be your TA! I also enjoy
reading and sleeping on occasion.

What gets you most excited about computer science?
It is difficult to narrow down one thing that is the most
exciting; computer science is so ubiquitous that everything I
get excited about involves computer science to some degree. That
being said, one of the coolest things I've been able to see
first-hand is the construction of Blue Origin's automated
self-landing rocket booster. I can't wait to see what the future
of space-flight holds, and computer science is going to hold a
big part in it.

Have you done anything remarkable? Has anything memorable
happened to you?
Hmmm. I once took a trip to China and came back with salmonella
from a McDonalds there (mind you their chicken sandwiches were
superb).

What commitments will be consuming your time this quarter?
Aside from school and TAing, I'm president of an Academic Trivia
RSO that meets fairly frequently for practices and tournaments.

Have you done anything remarkable? Has anything memorable
happened to you?
I entered this world with a doppelganger (I have a twin, you
should probably watch out for her)

Where did you grow up? What was your academic path?
I lived in Loomis, California before 6th grade. After that,
I moved to a super small farm town in Washington, called
Kittitas. I graduated from high school with a class of 40 people,
then I escaped to UW to study CS.

What gets you most excited about computer science?
It's hard to say, exactly. I like computer science in part because
it lets you build amazing things with even potato computing
devices and in part because I find the notion of quantifying and
mathematically analyzing computation or the act of "doing" to be
inherently fascinating.
That said, I do have a love-hate relationship with
technology in general. There are definitely some days where I wish
I could just go off the grid and become Amish or something...

Where did you grow up? What was your academic path?
I grew up in the area. My academic path to CSE was a winding one.
I came into college wanting to major in neurobiology because I
had a concussion my sophomore year of high school that made me
want to learn more about the brain. As I entered college, I
continued on my academic path and majored in neurobiology.
However, the summer before my senior year, I decided to take CSE
142 because it related to the research I was doing at the time,
which was on analyzing the MRIs of premature babies. I fell in
love in CSE during that class and it led me to take CSE 143 in
the fall. I was still so in love with the material that I decided
to pursue post-baccalaureate studies in CSE at UW once I
graduated with my neurobiology and psychology degrees.
