Proudest Moment: One of my proudest moments was hearing from my former female students whom I taught and teaching assistants whom I trained that I had inspired them to pursue a career in tech, during my 3 years serving as a CS Teaching Assistant and Teaching Assistant Coordinator.
Hi! My name is Patty and I just graduated from the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering with a degree in Computer Science. During my time at UW, I have had the opportunity to be very active and involved in the introductory CS TA program and research in the UW Security & Privacy Lab. In my free time, I enjoy hiking to alpine lakes, reading philosophical novels, sipping assorted teas, attending farmers markets, and exploring this beautiful world we live in. In August, I will start working at Microsoft as a Software Engineer where I will build accessible technologies that empower people. As I find myself at this peak that represents the culmination of my time at UW, I look out onto the horizon and see that there are still so many mountains left to be climbed. Thankfully, after 4 years of hard work, I am well-equipped for whatever this next part of my journey has in store. Onward to the next peak!
