I\u2019m a senior undergraduate in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I served as the community relations officer last year and I\u2019m excited to continue supporting our UW ECE community! I\u2019ve been involved in research with the Sensor Systems Lab and explored sub-fields of ECE by working on different projects \u2013 I’m always happy to chat more about them if you\u2019re curious. In my free time, I love being with family and friends, reading, bouldering, going on runs, and embroidering.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
