Proudest Moment: After nearly failing Physics 121, learning to readjust my schedule and my priorities and proceeding to do much better (academically and mental health-wise) in Physics 122 and 123.
elizabeth.mckinnie@outlook.comHi, I'm Elizabeth! I'm double majoring in Computer Science and ACMS (applied math). My focus is machine learning and ethics of technology. Although I'm a double STEM major, I love being a part of the Interdisciplinary Honors program. It was an Honors class (392, Science and Engineering for Social Justice) that sparked in me a desire to learn more about the ethics of technology and work towards creating fair and ethical algorithms. I was also a TA for CSE 142 for five quarters and was a lead TA working on student engagement for two quarters. I studied abroad in Prague during my third year with the CHID program which inspired me to minor in CHID. After I graduate I'll be working at Microsoft as a software engineer!
