I'm super delighted to be co-teaching this course with my friend and colleague, the amazing Lisa Yan. I'm passionate about our new "A's for All" initiative that we want to start sweeping the world. On the fun side, I can play 20+ songs on the harmonica (but they all end up sounding like "Piano Man"), juggle 5 balls, score in the low 90s on the links, spin things on my finger, and recite all the words to many old-school raps, stand-up comedy bits and Monty Python sketches. I also have a collection of several hundred game and puzzle books, and terribly enjoy sharing good brain teasers or playing any one of my many exotic board games with students in my GamesCrafters group. Don't get me started telling jokes...

I'm sooo excited to be co-teaching this course with my colleague, mentor, and friend: the one-and-only Dan Garcia. I love building pathways in computing and data science education for all undergraduates. Hobbies include hiking, playing tennis, cooking multi-course meals, singing karaoke (anime songs only), learning languages, and reading nonfiction. If you're interested in a career teaching CS...let's talk!

I'm really excited to be back this semester as a Head GSI as I finish up my Master's degree. Can't wait to meet everyone!
