Education

Hack Reactor

2017 - 2018

Advanced Software Engineering Immersive

Attended Hack Reactor @ the San Francisco campus from late-2017 to early-2018.

IMHO, Hack Reactor's immersive program may not be for everyone. However, if you seek to satisfy your voracious intellectual appetite and rediscover/redefine your own limitations at the same time, there may be no better alternative.

University of Southern California

2010 - 2014

JD/MBA

University of California, Davis

2004 - 2008

Bachelor of Arts, Economics and Psychology
