As a software engineer at Etsy, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and educational experience to my work. Before transitioning into tech, I served as a Middle School After-School Program Coordinator and Teacher, where I had the privilege of teaching technology and health education to students in grades 6-8. My journey in education began at Brownsville Collaborative Middle School (BCMS), where I worked as the Technology Building Coordinator. I later coordinated after-school programs in collaboration with NYU Langone and Project Reach Youth. This diverse background has honed my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively and fostered a passion for continuous learning and innovation. I thrive on solving challenging problems, whether it's through coding or helping students achieve their potential. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy playing video games and am an avid musician, playing both the piano and guitar. I'm also a big basketball fan, with the Lakers being my favorite team.
