About
Hello! I'm Divya, welcome to my website! I'm a senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Spanish and Mathematics. At school, I'm an organizer for Technica, the world's largest all-women and nonbinary hackathon, an ambassador for the Iribe Initiative for Inclusion and Diversity in Computing, and a TA for one of my favorite classes: Intro to the Design, Cultures, and Creativity program at UMD!
Outside of school, I like exploring different types of art, including hand-lettering/calligraphy and digital art, and crafting the perfect playlists. You'll usually find me talking about music or the latest news on Twitter over boba or Dunkin.
Scroll through my website to find out more about me, and feel free to message me through LinkedIn or email!
