Nickname: “The Chef”
School: UCLA
Major: Computer Science
Expected Graduation: Summer of 2016
Star Wars or Star Trek? Star Trek
Career Aspirations: I’d like to be able to touch on every aspect within the computer science field and inspire more girls to do CS. We are the minority but we’re changing that slowly!
What have you worked on this summer? The first project was an SEO phone lookup task. The second project was a blog for the Family.me site. It has owls and trees and it’s a very pretty site. 😀 We have one last project to work on we’re excited to get started!
Best Spokeo moment so far? Karaoke night! I can’t believe we actually were singing and showing off our best dance moves in front of everyone… IT WAS AWESOME and embarrassing.
Do you have any advice for next year’s interns? It’s really important to make friends with co-workers even when you are not working. I really feel that Spokeo is more like a family than a company. I learn so much when I’m networking with people outside of work, not only technical skills but also how to deal with people professionally. These are the connections you want to maintain. Even after the internship is over, these people might help you in the future with recommendations. Networking is VERY important!
