"It was recommended to me by a friend who is doing very well in health-tech that I consider joining Hack for LA. One of my favorite parts of Hack for LA is that it is a very collaborative environment - everyone wants to be there and work together and learn. I have learned how to develop projects faster and improve my team communication skills. I would recommend Hack for LA to anyone who would like to make friends, participate in the development of meaningful projects, and develop their career skills."

• Open to being interviewed by UX - you can find me on Slack.
