Born in Hagerstown, MD she moved a few times as a kid before arriving in Tullburg when she was 10. She has one much older brother, David, who lives in Philadelphia. She’s on good terms with him but they rarely see each other. She is a lesbian, but has not been very public about it, only telling a few people: Andrea, Sophia, Megan, and David. Her dad divorced her mom when she was 9 after her mom had an affair, but the two reconciled and remarried a six years later. The whole thing has made her rather distant and uncomfortable around her parents. It’s a distance that’s made stronger by the occasional passing insult they make about “those fags.” She was often picked on growing up, and often shut herself in on her computer for most of the day, day after day. Her parents said if she was going to do that she should be learning something too, so she began to learn coding when she was young. She may have been mostly self-taught through free online courses, but with so many hours practicing she quickly became quite good. When she was 17 she got a part time job at a tech firm based out of Philadelphia. She applied to computer science and computer engineering programs anywhere but the local college. She is not very social, very guarded but also very generous with those she calls her friends.
