A self-proclaimed programming n00b, I graduated business school in 2008 with a bachelors in finance and economics, and, as one can safely assume with that concentration mixture, went straight into the antiquated field of banking. Only in the fall of 2011 did I dive into learning how to program after being heavily surrounded by it with close relationships.

I am currently hosting a Python study group for the ~600 members of Women Who Code meetup group in San Francisco. I am also the co-organizer of a large, multi-city hackathon event geared towards journalism, news, and media.
