“I knew I wanted to be in the tech industry in 7th grade. At that point in my life, I was fascinated with technology and how much of an impact it made on people socially. As I continued my journey through college, I realized that I not only wanted to be in the tech industry, but specifically in the EdTech [Education Tech] industry. After seeing how much I enjoyed tutoring and teaching others how to code, I knew that I wanted to continue to make a difference in people's lives by teaching them how to be digitally literate.”

Source of inspiration: My a cappella group, The Treble Singers! Not only are the members a daily inspiration and encouragement to keep working hard and doing my best in everything I do, but singing together and hearing how the harmonies all work together always brings me joy and allows me to think through anything I may be struggling with.
