// about me

Welcome to my website! Here's a little bit about me: I currently am a software engineer at Facebook. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Human-Computer Interaction. I am a proud member and captain of CMU's Women's NCAA DIII Golf Team. I am passionate about a good cup of coffee, problem solving, women in engineering, golf, traveling... and a second cup of coffee.
