Angie Cheng (Lead Mentor)
Hello! My name is Angie and I’m going to be a senior in Math and CS with a minor in Statistics. This summer I’ll be interning at Amazon as a SWE intern remotely, but hoping to visit the office at least once! I’m heavily involved with student organizations on campus such as Reflections|Projections, MechMania, and Women in Computer Science. I also currently work with a couple professors on some fun research projects. In my free time I love playing golf, playing video games, hanging out with friends, sleeping, and eating. I’m excited to be a WIE mentor this year and I can’t wait to meet all of you in August!

Romina Parimi
Hi all!! I’m Romina, a sophomore in CS + Advertising and from Santa Clara, CA. This summer, I’m working as an SQE intern at Amazon; my internship was hybrid (virtual + in-person), so feel free to ask me any questions about it!!

In my free time, you’ll find me engaged in some physical fitness / creative leisure activity. I’m super excited to be a WIE mentor after attending WIE as a freshman last year, and I’m even more excited to meet all of you, answer any questions you may have, and make your transition to college as smooth-sailing as possible!
