Community Impact

I have been an active volunteer in my local community for several years. I have started several computer science education organizations, organized many educational events about computer science as well as women's issues, and spoken at a small number of events. Most often, you'll find me mentoring young learners and teaching in small group settings.

I'm currently focusing on facilitating a local Girls Who Code Club for students in 6th - 12th grade.

Below are some of the things I've been especially involved in over the last few years.
