As an avid computer science student, my mission is to utilize engineering as a means of promoting social good. I am incredibly passionate about environmental sustainability, mental health awareness, and civic engagement, so I hope to apply my CS experience to fight for these important issues in my future career paths. Most of my experience is in software engineering, but I'm also interested in product management along with UI/UX design. I'd be happy to connect and talk about green tech and social good!
