About Me
Hi, I'm Sabrina Xue! I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, and I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
As the daughter of a security architect, I've been surrounded by technology for as long as I can remember. Over the years, my curiosity about the inner workings of the screens we see every day has only grown. With a strong interest in user-focused products, I hope to use technology to help build a more accessible and innovative future for everyone.
Outside of the classroom and workplace, I love to spend time in nature, whether that be hiking through Banff or snowboarding at Jackson Hole. Taking time to step outside helps balance out the amount of time I spend sitting in front of my computer
