Kyrie Dowling
she/they
I grew up in Seattle, WA and did my undergrad at the University of Washington. Now, I am finishing up my graduate degree at Penn and applying for jobs teaching computer science. I love teaching, rock climbing, reading, and playing games, among much else. Stop on by my office hours for help with the course, general school advice, or just to chat!
Teaching Assistants
Liz Zhang
she/her
Hi there! I’m Liz. After transitioning from Education to Computer Science, I’ve developed a strong passion for both teaching and coding—one of the reasons I’m a TA. I firmly believe that helping others learn is the best way to deepen my own understanding. When I’m not at school, you’ll find me reading, running along the Schuylkill River, or exploring the diverse restaurant scene in Philly. I’m excited to share this journey of coding and debugging with you!
Nikita Singh
she/her
Hi all, I’m a 2nd-year MCIT student, originally from India. Before coming to Penn, I worked as a product manager at an ML homework helper startup and as a management consultant. Outside of class, you’ll probably find me swimming or hunting down new hole in the wall restaurants to try. Always down to grab coffee if I can be helpful in any way!
