🌊 Hi!! I’m Karen, a rising third-year EECS major from Davis. I enjoy listening to music 🎶 (mostly cpop, but feel free to rec me anything!), going on Sharetea runs 👀, doom-scrolling 💀 through Ed 🤓, and using emojis 👌 💯. I’m also trying to spend more time doing “research” on this seemingly intangible thing called grass 🧐 😬 (lmk if u have any leads lol). Looking forward to a 61BLegendary semester 😎

Hi everyone, I’m Wilson and I just graduated this past May as a CS major. I’m super excited to be able to lecture for 61B(L) and in the past, I’ve taught CS61B/L as a TA the past 4 semesters, and was a Tutor for Data8 in Summer 2023. I came into Berkeley as ChemE and changed my major 7+ times before deciding on CS my sophomore spring, when I took 61B. In my free time, I love exploring new food spots, working at cafes, playing volleyball, and vlogging!
