Congratulations to the Class of 2021!

I’m especially grateful for my mom, dad, and family for their encouragement in my time at UW, who always provide their love and care in times of self-doubt. I’ve made it this far in my Allen School journey thanks to the TAs who always stay after office hours to get my questions answered, professors who engage students in course content with such great enthusiasm, Allen School faculty who work behind the scenes to ensure we have a memorable and positive experience in the Allen School, and the peers who have defined what a community is. Special shoutout to ACM, SAC, and the CSE 14x and 3xx TA community who have supported me in unimaginable ways in becoming a student leader in the Allen School. I will never forget the people and communities who have stretched myself to who I am today—those who taught me to work together as a team, embrace vulnerability, and pick myself back up when I’m falling. I’m looking forward to harnessing the knowledge and wisdom from these past few years to contribute back!
