About
Hi there! I'm Lizzie, a senior software engineer at Microsoft, and I can't wait to start helping you achieve the goals you've set out for yourself. With years of experience in the professional world and the focus I've put on mentoring and developing junior engineers in my career, I will bring empathy, constructive feedback, and a lot of fun and passion to the work we do together.
Throughout my 10 years at Microsoft, I've worked on multiple teams, dealt with many different technology stacks, and been a tech lead for several high-impact, customer-facing projects. All the interns I have mentored have received enthusiastic return offers from Microsoft, and I continue to mentor multiple junior engineers, meeting with them regularly to help them set and reach their career goals. Before joining Microsoft I completed a dual degree program in math and computer science at Washington University in St. Louis and Kenyon College in Ohio. During college, I had an internship at CDK, a small software company in Portland, and did two REU's; one in the GRASP robotics lab at University of Pennsylvania and one in the Cybersecurity department at University of Maryland. When we work together, I will leverage this diversity of experience and tailor our sessions to specifically help you prepare for the next step you want to take.
In my free time, I love to run, hike in the mountains, and read fantasy novels. I've also loved my time being a volunteer at TEALS, Girls on the Run, and Fast Feet. I believe the happiness we cultivate outside of work truly helps us find professional fulfillment and although we will focus on technical problems, I hope to get to know you as a whole person during our time together. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit--I'm already looking forward to working with you!
