Born to a small family in Astoria, Queens, my early life consisted of good music, good food, outdoor exploration, and a passion for the invention of small household trinkets. I loved to invent and reinvent, assemble and dissasemble, which would later develop into a passion for engineerging.
At The Chapin School, reknowned as the #1 ranked private school for Girls in the US, I leaned into my engineering spirit and honed in on my technical foundations through engineeringa and programming extracurriculars. In recognition of my early programming and innovation talents, I earned spots in exclusive tech programs across NYC including NYU's CS4CS and Google's CodeNext
After years of hard work and focus in tech, I am currently pursuing my degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at Oberlin College. Thus far, I have founded CyberCo, a cybersecurity club that connects likeminded programmers.
Today, I manage my rigorous education, an influx of professional opportunities, and my company, XWEB Development, which consistently delivers quality websites to various innovative businesses.
