I'm a recent graduate from UBC's Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) program 👩‍💻 Before that, my former life was as a class therapist for children on the Autism Spectrum, and as a research assistant for different labs across various areas in Psychology - my first degree 🧠

My multi-disciplinary background in Psychology and Computer Science have equipped me with effective technical, communication, research and problem-solving skills. I aspire to continue to grow my unique skillset in understanding users' needs and creating products with real-world impact.
