 ==About Me: Sabrina Stangler==
-Hi, I am Sabrina! I'm 24 years old, and I studied Software Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), graduating in 2020. I'm currently employed as a Senior Software Engineer at RokkinCat where I build products for startups, mostly local to Milwaukee, WI.
+Hi, I am Sabrina! I'm 26 years old, and I studied Software Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), graduating in 2020. I'm currently employed as freelance Software Engineer at my own company, Curious Bean LLC, where I build products & websites for startups & small businesses.
 I did my training for UIF in the winter of 17-18 and went to the Silicon Valley Meetup in Spring of 2018.
-I make YouTube videos, play the drums (as of 2021 lol), and I got into reading fantasy novels over 2020 - I recently finished reading all two dozen-ish of the Brandon Sanderson novels (within the Cosmere).
+I have also returned to the UIF meetups as a FAB for 2022 & 2023.
 I ALSO very recently got diagnosed with ADHD (at age 23), as well as experiencing Anxiety for most of my life to this point. I've been on quite the journey through umm ... well ... suffering, finally being able to 1) afford therapy and 2) muster the courage to start therapy, and more recently starting medicinal treatment for both (which has overall been positive). I bring this up because reading these Wiki bios probably makes former Fellows seem like the most high achieving coolest folks around, which ''is true of course'', but I want to portray at least a little more wholistic version of myself.

 I ended up leaving because 1) RokkinCat reached out to me (see below), 2) when I challenged things, I was met with "yeah that's a good idea, sounds very ''innovative'', but ...." and then met friction at every turn when I actually tried to take action, and 3) we never got to interact with and understand the users of our product, which was very frustrating, but also just "the way things were."

There was lots of learning leading up to the meetup, and there was lots of fun while the meetup was happening! We're looking forward to holding something like this again.

 As the President, I lead all of our meetings, put myself in a lot of uncomfortable (but really fun) public speaking and community relationship maintenance positions.

What's been really interesting is finding out how to draw lines of value between students, industry partners, and professors so everyone benefits and has a value proposition.

 My experience with SG has shown me what it's like to navigate administrative road bumps within MSOE.
