A Little About Me...

I am a recent Alumni from the University of California, Berkeley where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. I was born and raised in the San Francisco/Bay Area where I developed a passion for technology/design and hope to use what I have learned to benefit those in my community. I am currently working as a Software Engineer at Airbnb in SF. Outside of work I am a Hip-Hop choreographer, Breakdancer, Guitarist, and Tae Kwon Do Martial Artist. I also have strong interests in traveling, fashion, and music and love to talk to others to share experiences.
