I was recognized by the UCSB Academic Senate with an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award for the 2014-2015 academic year. The Computer Science Department graduating seniors recognized me with the Outstanding Teaching Assistant in the Computer Science program award in both the 2014-2015 and 2013-2014 academic years. The faculty of the Computer Science department recognized me as one of the Outstanding Teaching Assistants in the department during the Winter 2014 quarter.
