WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
I'm a born and raised Pacific Northwesterner. Originally I wanted to study
sports medicine but I switched paths after taking my first CS class. Now I
will be starting a Master's program at the University of Pennsylvania
in the fall in pursuit of becoming a CS educator.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
I love hiking, camping, rock climbing, and basically any other outdoor
activity. If it gets me out of the house, I'm there. I also listen to a
lot of podcasts, music, and audiobooks. If you have any recommendations
I'd love to hear them!
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
I ran up a mountain. Twice. It was as awful as you're probably thinking,
but the view at the top was definitely worth it.
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
After being a TA for 8 quarters this is now my first time being the instructor
for a course so I will be spending most of my time making this course the best it
can be! In my remaining free time I will be spending time with family and friends
before moving across the country at the end of August.

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
- I grew up in Washington! I have lived here for most of my life, but I actually moved around a lot before moving to the Seattle area. Now, I live in Bellevue with my husband and 5-year-old daughter.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
- I love playing both board and video games (and I somewhat recently got into horror games and I marathoned The Quarry in one night over the break before this quarter)! I am an avid reader, mostly sci-fi and fantasy, though I have less time to read for fun during school. I love going to see new Marvel movies opening weekend (we already got our Thor 4 tickets)! And I also knit and crochet.

- Getting married and having my wonderful daughter are probably the most remarkable experiences of my life so far :D
