Hi! I'm Shayna.

I'm currently a software engineer at Facebook, where I work on ads transparency. I'm an engineer and writer passionate about social justice, education, the environment, and Taylor Swift.

I recently graduated from UC Berkeley, where I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and Human Rights. In my time at Berkeley, I was lucky enough to be named a Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar, a GLOBE Ambassador, a Big Ideas Competition winner, and a Jacobs Innovation Catalyst Grant awardee.

In my free time, you might find me learning to play guitar, writing poetry, or hiking around the Bay Area!
