I am a student at The Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) pursuing a major in software engineering Software Engineering (Class of 2020). I did my training for UIF in the winter of 17-18 and went to the Silicon Valley Meetup in Spring of 2018. I enjoy petting my cats, meeting new people, trying new foods, and going to concerts!   == UIF Activities<br/> == === Innovator's Toolkit Workshop at Startup Week MKE, Fall 2018<br/> === In November 2018, myself, Tara, & Nick held a design thinking workshop during Startup Week MKE. This event garnered 50 entrepreneurs & change makers from the Milwaukee area and was hosted at Northwestern Mutual. It was a blast doing a workshop on a larger scale and in front of primarily non-students who were all surprisingly receptive to learning a new way of thinking! === South by Southwest, Spring 2019 (SXSW)<br/> === In March 2019, I attended SXSW with a minor in mathematicsdozen other fellows and our own first cohort from MSOE. Sabrina involves herself with The Commons WI year round beginning as This was one of the most amazing weeks of my life! We engaged a Team Lead few different crowds in stokes before sessions began, we talked between fellows about navigating opportunities and road bumps at our campuses, and we tried all kinds of different foods from around Austin, TX! === MKE Meetup 2019, Spring 2019<br/> === In May 2019, our campus held a 3-day long meetup at our MSOE campus! I played a role in orchestrating the flow of many of the Spring events, reaching out to community partners to acquire space and find content, and learning a lot about getting a team of 2017 6 that turned into 10 halfway through being one to make a big event happen. 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. === MSOE UIF Things<br/> === *Revamp of dorm floor study spaces*Design thinking workshops with student groups & classes*#uifresh 2018*#uifresh 2019   == Outside of UIF<br/> == === President, Society of Software Engineers (SSE)<br/> === As the first six Commons Innovation Fellows into playing President, I lead all of our meetings, put myself in a lot of uncomfortable (but really fun) public speaking and community relationship maintenance positions. Through this, I have learned a lot about leading a team of students, maintaining industry relations, and providing a service that benefits our target audience: software students at MSOE! 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. I have tried and failed a lot in this position, and I have also seen a lot of success with my team. Next up is figuring out how to hand the role 3 year-old organization down to a new group of an Advisor students! === VP + Senator, Student Government (SG)<br/> === I was a senator for teams in the Fall duration of my sophomore year and Spring each the VP for my junior year. Sabrina strives Now I'm taking on a "loosely but actively involved student" role which is new for all of us. Who doesn't like navigating new territory? My experience with SG has shown me what it's like to navigate administrative road bumps within MSOE. It's also given me another opportunity to lead by example and figure out how to improve the user experience for any motivate very busy and involved students. In all honesty, I learned a lot of ways NOT to motivate busy students! There were a lot of conflicting priorities that made getting all 12 senators on board challenging, but nevertheless: we were able to achieve a lot of amazing things she touchesover two years. === SWE + STEM Outreach<br/> === Through SWE and our STEM Department on campus, I have had many opportunities to reach young girls in Milwaukee to show them what opportunities & challenges lie in a career in STEM. This is something I really enjoy doing and hope to be able to do more as life goes on. The message I always share to young students is one of resilience: no matter who you are or what you do, someone is going to undervalue your worth, and does so someone is going to put you down; don't let that person be you! Fun social posts: 3rd panelist from the left: [https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2019/03/21/women-should-be-direct-curious-as-they-pursue.html https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2019/03/21/women-should-be-direct-curious-as-they-pursue.html]   == Work<br/> == === Software Development Intern, Torq Labs, Inc. - Summer 2016<br/> === Learned some basic Android development, mostly got a good warm feel for startup culture, community involvement, and problem solving with her background a customer in software mind (probably for the first time!). === Tier 1 Technician, MSOE IT Department - Sep '16 - Feb '18<br/> === Learned rapid problem solving, customer service skills with frequently angry customers (and consequently conflict resolution), and this is also where I learned to stand up for myself and my worth as an employee and a person. === Commons Innovation Fellow, The Commons WI - Summer 2017<br/> === Worked with a team of 3 rockstar recent graduates (while I had just graduated my freshman year ..) and learned how to be a mature and reliable teammate. This was one of the first times I directly interfaced with a larger corporation from the inside (Briggs & Stratton and Manpower Group). === Product Development Intern, MacGregor Partners - Jun '18 - present<br/> === Learning to be a better web developer and engineer.
