aechalf@gmail.comMy time at UW has been shaped by many amazing and challenging experiences. As a student in Honors and Computer Science, I've learned from amazing faculty how to think critically and creatively on everything from Shakespeare to systems programming. As a future leader in the software industry, I've interned at companies in Seattle and the Silicon Valley, such as Microsoft, Apple, and Google. As a member of this diverse campus, I've been involved in Greek life, advising, and other organizations that aim to better the experience for students across campus. And as an individual, I've endured challenges of the last four years and ultimately become more confident and open-minded. This fall I will begin my career as a Software Engineer at Microsoft working on cloud computing, and I am so grateful for my experiences at UW that have prepared me for the future.
