BA Early Childhood and Family Studies
University of Washington
I graduated from the University of Washington, where I completed my BA in Early Childhood and Family Studies and fell in love with teaching children. I began my career as a preschool lead teacher, a role I held for several years.
However, the pandemic became a turning point for me. As education shifted online, I struggled to find effective tools to support children’s learning. This experience opened my eyes to the possibilities of technology in education. I realized that technology had the potential to make learning more accessible and inclusive for all students. This realization sparked a passion in me to learn programming. In pursuit of this goal, I decided to transition into software development. When I discovered the Align program, I knew it was the perfect path to bridge the gap between my passion for education and computer science.
Looking ahead, I am eager to continue developing solutions that make a real difference in education and beyond. My goal is to leverage my background in education and my growing expertise in software development to build innovative projects that can serve diverse learners. I’m especially interested in artificial intelligence, which I believe can reshape how we teach and learn. As I continue my studies, I’m excited to explore internships and co-op opportunities that will allow me to apply my skills and contribute to impactful projects.
