Prior to her start at Microsoft, she had two internships there to gain experience in a corporate setting. During her time at Ohio State, she founded and presided over student organisation Code 4 Community (C4C) for three years. C4C is designed to demonstrate and implement the benefits of computer science in a humanitarian way, including a long-term project of building a website to help adolescents struggling with mental health and outreach to local grade schools to generate interest in computer science. She is passionate about sharing STEM with underrepresented communities, including women, minorities, and rural areas. Outside of work, she enjoys reading and creative fiction writing, fitness, and taking care of houseplants. In our conversation, we talk about technical program management and Code 4 Community.
