About

A little bit about me.

Here’s a few things about me:

• I live on the west coast but New England will always be home 🌲
• I’m a software engineer passionate about making products that help people👩‍💻
• I’m a queer trans woman and use she/her/hers pronouns 🏳️‍⚧️
• I’m a cat mom to two little gremlins who I love very dearly 🐱
• I love coffee ☕, craft cocktails 🍸, and trying all kinds of food 🍴

Here’s a rough timeline of things I’ve done personally & professionally:

• 2011 - 2015 - Student at Williams College
  • I majored in political science but took a range of classes — from legal theory to the history and culture of French wines!
  • From 2013-2014 I was extremely fortunate to study at Exter College at the University of Oxford as a visiting student in the Williams-Exeter Programme
  • In 2015 I got my first taste of programming with Diving Into the Deluge of Data, an introductory computer science course teaching the fundamentals of programming through working with data in Python. It was great!
• 2015 - 2019 - Living and working in Vermont
  • For much of this time I was a business analyst at Middlebury Interactive Languages, an EdTech company that helped K-12 students learn foreign languages. It was fun! It also gave me an opportunity to apply some Python skills to my day to day work, deepening my love of programming
  • I briefly worked in marketing and community outreach for a solar company which felt great and let me spend a lot of time out in the sun
  • I also freelanced as a tutor and education consultant, helping students apply to colleges
• 2019 - Learning software engineering
  • I moved to Austin, Texas and did a full-stack software engineering bootcamp through Hack Reactor. It changed my life!
  • I learned everything from jQuery to React Native, built a ton of full-stack apps, and made some life-long friends
• 2019 - 2024 - Working at LinkedIn
  • I moved to the Bay Area and started as an apprentice engineer at LinkedIn through REACH, their job targeted at bootcamp grads and self-taught engineers.
  • Eventually I was able to grow into a software engineer and then a senior software engineer, doing various product work across a few teams in LinkedIn’s Feed org.
  • I’m most proud of the accessibility (a11y) work I did at LinkedIn, helping to make the feed a more accessible user experience for everyone. I was also extremely fortunate to work on hiring, recruiting, and mentorship for the REACH Apprenticeship, helping more engineers from non-traditional backgrounds find their footing and launch their careers.
• 2025 - now - Working at Handshake
  • I can’t say much about it, but I’m working on an awesome internal startup at Handshake as a founding engineer and having a blast!
