ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Laysha...

I'm a third-year, first-generation college student at the University of Washington studying Computer Engineering at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering.

I'm a product of first-year programs like the Allen School Scholars Program (ASSP), the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), and the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP).

I'm currently a CSE 195 Teaching Assistant where I help assist the instructors with the Allen Scholars Summer Bridge and currently the Vice President Internal at the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) chapter at the University of Washington.
