Outside Passions
I am a big advocate of giving back and inspiring the next generation. Currently, I am an active member of the Stanford Women in STEM, where I mentor Stanford students to help them navigate their professional career and succeed. In addition, I am a volunteer with Women Who Code. In addition, I sit on many small and early stage startup boards.
When I am not working you can find me rock climbing, at a yoga class, throwing pottery, trail running, skiing the freshest pow or Dj’ing house/edm music!
