Hi! Nice to
meet you.

(Fun fact: this was my very first English sentence).

I am a senior at the University of California studying computer science and business administration. I'm a full-stack developer (who actually really liked theory of algorithms), though most of my work focuses on web development. Along the way, I've also explored design, both graphic and UI/UX, because I enjoy building things that look as good as they work.

I grew up in Tucson, Arizona (Bear down!), but I was born in Vietnam, and both places have shaped who I am. Outside of coding, you'll usually find me climbing (indoors or out), baking everything from macarons to Vietnamese desserts, or talking—sometimes a little too much. A constant companion, my camera joins me often, capturing memories I don't want to let go.

My goal in life is to try any and every thing that intrigues me. That curiosity is what drives everything I do—I'm always up for a trying something new, exploring something unique, or going on a something journey. Some of my favorite interactions and experiences have come from striking up conversations with strangers (safely!). You never know what they have to say unless you ask. At the heart of it, I enjoy doing things for others. If I can make someone smile, then I've done my job for the day.

Reach out to me anytime, whether it's for a chat or the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever, I'm just a message away :)
