More About Me
Who am I?

Hi, I'm Macy So I am currently a final semester Senior studying Computer Science at Boston University - planned on graduating early during December this year. I am originated from Hong Kong, but currently studying at Boston University as an undergraduate student. I always have an interest in Product/Program management, so during the school year, I have been joining a lot of clubs, and taking on leadership roles - as a project manager at BU Spark! and Director at Hack4Impact BU. I am also founding a new club called "PMReady" in order to help students navigate into the PM world, and gain hands-on experience of what it's like to be a product manager. My long term goal for this project is to transform it into a multi-chapter organization US-wide.

I am a motivational, passionate, and proactive person. Over the next year, I am looking forward to learning a foreign language (Spanish) and finding new hobbies. I hope we can connect and appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume/website.
