A bit about me

I build software with intention.

As a Computer Science student graduating in 2026, I’m specializing in backend and systems-oriented development, with a growing focus on Rust. I enjoy modeling complex logic, designing predictable state transitions, and writing code that is both safe and scalable.

My background in leadership, from founding and leading a SWE chapter to scaling community initiatives shape how I approach engineering. I think in terms of structure, clarity, and long-term maintainability. I value collaboration, strong communication, and clean abstractions.

My goal is to contribute to teams building meaningful, production-grade systems while continuing to deepen my understanding of performance, architecture, and reliable software design.

Recent Work Experience

Section President - Society of Women Engineers at WGU

2024 - Current

As a founding member and president of our SWE section, I have played a key role in shaping the group’s direction, offering ideas and receiving valuable feedback from WGU Faculty Mentors. I’ve focused on strategic membership growth and building connections in a largely unconnected university environment.

In my leadership role, I organize professional development workshops, networking events, and mentorship programs that connect students with industry professionals. I also manage our section’s budget, secure sponsorships, and lead fundraising efforts. Through partnerships with university departments and national SWE chapters, I advocate for diversity and inclusion, while representing our section at regional and national conferences. My efforts have helped raise our chapter’s visibility and significantly grow membership.

Workplace 2 - PTA Vice President
Our PTA achieved an award for the most membership growth in the district in spring of 2024.

PTA President and Vice President

2023 - Current

As President and Vice President of the PTA, I’ve taken an active role in building community engagement, working closely with staff, parents, and local organizations. By developing strategic outreach initiatives, I helped grow membership by 120% within a month and expanded our volunteer team from 3 to over 35 people that consistently attend.

In my leadership role, I plan large-scale events, manage budgets, and oversee communications through newsletters, social media, and email campaigns. I also lead fundraising efforts and coordinate volunteer activities for events like carnivals and family nights. My efforts have strengthened our school’s community and increased overall participation.

Workplace 3 - Catering Coordinator
Grazing table I designed and put together for a district meeting.

Catering

2022 - Current

As a Catering Coordinator, I manage all aspects of event planning, from initial request meetings to execution, ensuring a seamless and high-quality experience. I coordinate with leadership to understand their needs and preferences, creating a customized catering plan and menu.

I work closely with other volunteers and vendors to ensure timely delivery and presentation, while overseeing logistics such as venue setup, staffing, and equipment needs. I am responsible for managing budgets, negotiating contracts, and securing cost-effective solutions to meet leadership expectations. Through careful planning and attention to detail, I consistently deliver successful events, maintaining a strong satisfaction rate and building long-term relationships that lead to long term relationships.
