Hi, I'm Lucy!
I'm a Computer Science and Studio Art student at 
Macalester College and I am from Oakland, CA.
About Me:
Quick Info:
I am a junior at Macalester College and I am highly motivated and enthusiastic about computer programming. I am currently working as an Research Assistant and a head teacher's assistant at Macalester College. I am also a fellow at Cornell Tech's Break Through Tech AI Fellowship.
My Skills as a Programmer:
Through my experience as an artist, I try to apply an artistic eye to make programs that are beautiful and follow good UI/UX practices. Additionally, I focus on writing readable, expandable, and efficient code and unit tests.
Community:
I am also very community oriented, as I was an RA for the 2024-2045 academic year where I fostered a community for incoming first-year students. I also am co-leading Macalester's Class of 2028 Discord Server and Instagram Page to allow incoming first-years to meet each other before the school year begins.
Fun Info:
I enjoy biking (mountain and road), and I play ultimate frisbee on my college club team, the Macalester PurseSnatchers. Additionally, I am a highly rated 
Geoguessr player.
