What makes her awesome

I graduated from Brown University in 2021 with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science. My hobbies are painting, going to fitness classes, and exploring restaurants. I will also be relocating to Washington D.C. later this year!

• The challenges she’s ready to take on
  
  My first job in tech was at Goldman Sachs, where I worked for 1.5 years. My two biggest challenges were transitioning from a college student mindset and learning how to advocate for myself. I quickly realized that there are no periodic, quantitative assessments (aka, grades) while working in industry, so it was crucial for me to set up regular check-ins with my manager and obtain feedback. There was also no clear end to projects like semester-based classes, since a project can always be improved. I had to push myself to explore what technical topics/projects I was interested in (or not) and voice that to my team.

• What the RTC community means to her
  
  I joined RTC in 2018 when another member shared about the org in an intro course. I really enjoy collaborating with others and learning from their experiences. Being exposed to other perspectives also keeps me engaged in my role.
