About Me

Hello and Welcome! I'm Tashi, a senior majoring in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. In my sophomore year of university, I co-founded and led as President a Women in Computer Science club at UBC. I've worked several semesters as a teaching assistant since my very first year of university.

To me, CS is a never-ending journey of learning and growth with its unique ability to create tangible impact on tremendous scales across various sectors and realms of our daily existence. The versatility and problem-solving aspect of CS never fail to amaze me. I'm a curious learner. I'm continuously learning, falling, learning. I believe there's something I learn from each person, every day of my life which helps me build a growth mindset.
