Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi, my name's Michelle, but feel free to call me Michy! This year, I'll be spending most of my time fretting over CS psets, organizing fashion events and shows for MAISON at Yale, planning events on social board for WGICS (Women & Gender Minorities in CS), dancing for Danceworks, and snacking after midnight while watching Gossip Girl. I also have a small crush on mechanical keyboards and would be thrilled to share more about it.
