Undergraduate Tutor
-
Jan 2023 - Mar 2023
As a tutor for CS1 in Python at UCSD (CSE 8A) I helped facilitate weekly labs, was on the Programming Assignments (PA) team, and completed grading. I worked in a collaborative environment with other tutors and Graduate Teaching Assistants (TAs) to update assignments from previous quarters, adding a theme of computing for social good to help engage our students. I provided one-on-one tutoring to help students with assignments and understanding concepts, both in person and on Zoom. I concurrently took CSE 95: Tutor Apprenticeship to learn best practices such as guiding students to learn concepts, rather than collecting points on assignments. Show less

Teaching Assistant
-
May 2022 - Aug 2022
This summer I am a teaching assistant for Girls Who Code's Virtual Summer Immersion Program (VSIP). This two week virtual program teaches high school girls about the fundamentals of computer science, how to build a website, opportunities and careers in technology, and helps them find and build a supportive community. I participated in the program three summers ago and had an amazing experience; this program was the reason I decided to major in computer science in college. I am excited to teach these girls about computer science and show them this is a world and career that they belong in. Show less

The Experiment Digital is a virtual exchange program with over 1,000 high school students from the United States, Algeria, Iraq, and Yemen with a focus on leadership and being civically engaged.

Summer 2020 I participated in the Teens in Public Service internship at the nonprofit Amara. I worked on the communications team. Some of my projects have been scheduling posts for social channels, creating visuals for Facebook and Instagram using Canva, and updating the website using Wordpress. I also talked with people in many different jobs at Amara to learn about how nonprofits function and what it's like to work at one.

Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program
-
Jul 2019 - Aug 2019
Summer 2019 I participated in the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program where I learned to code with Scratch, Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It was hosted by F5 networks and so I got to spend my summer learning in the environment of a tech company in downtown Seattle. One of my favorite parts of the program was learning about the different options of careers in technology and I had the opportunity to talk to many women who work at F5 and hear their stories. I also liked learning how to use code to do things I do in my everyday life, like using Python to put a filter on photos! For my final project I worked with a team to build a website using HTML and CSS to spread awareness and provide information about climate change. Show less
