Meet Lizzy

I am rewriting tech by helping students recognize the power of community and mentorship—regardless of their background, field, or experience level. Tech can feel isolating, but having people to learn with and learn from makes all the difference. I want to write software that solves real world problems, not just building fast but building well. Working at a startup taught me the importance of scalability and being comfortable with change that sometimes is outside of your control. I hope to work on products that adapt to users’ needs while standing the test of time — products that are not only technically sound, but genuinely impactful in people’s daily lives. RTC member since 2018.

Why did you enter the tech space?

When I immigrated to the US as a child, I taught myself English using educational software games. This experience showed me that computers and softwares are powerful tools that can help people to reach their full potential and learn about the world. I attended a summer camp during my junior year of high school where I got my first hands-on coding experience, which solidified my intent to major in computer science and work in tech.

What motivates you?

Collaboration with others and seeing tangible impact

What’s your favorite project that you’ve been a part of?

My team developed an internal tooling platform using Retool, AWS, and python that allowed the operations team to configure and launch sites/store locations in our company’s app. The tool reduced a previously 60-steps, error-prone, and manual process into 2-3 steps and an UI that clearly displays all site configurations and their errors, as well as audit trail features for easier debugging.

Any tips for new grads?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, network with both technical and non-technical colleagues, and reserve some time everyday for yourself to relax!

What does being a part of RTC mean to you?

Being a part of RTC means building a community where women in tech are supporting one another and making an impact by sharing my knowledge with younger students and new-grads. I can’t pinpoint one moment, but I have thoroughly enjoyed all the mentorship chats I have had, both as a mentee and a mentor.
