~ About Me ~
Hi eveyone! I'm Jenna. Born in China, raised and living in New York City.
Growing up, I've always been fasinated by tech gadgets, but the lack of exposure and the idea of IT being traditionally male dominated, it led me to believing that route was not for me. Fast forward to now, technology is a necessity in the 21st century, from navigation to finding the next 5-star Yelp meal. This sparked my interest and motivated me to have a career change. I am pursuing a 12-month, Google-funded software engineering fellowship in hopes of creating interactive websites and apps to improve my community. By learning and understanding tech myself, I can better explain and teach it to those around me as well.
Before my tech journey. I attained a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at University at Buffalo as a first-generation college student. While in Buffalo, a good GPA led me to an opportunity to study abroad in Singapore during the summer of 2016. Living and going to school in another country broaden my horizons, and made me more culturally aware and accepting. Outside of tech, I'm an avid traveler and foodie (I take pride in making others drool with my photography skills).
With my curiosity in learning new cultures and the quest to enjoy authentic food, it would be fun to work for a travel or food & beverage startup/company.
