Michelle is a first-generation Asian American who grew up in an under-resourced neighbourhood in San Francisco. Because her parents didn't go to college, she didn't have any role models and she had to learn how to navigate the system on her own. She knew she would be a minority in the tech field but she had no way of knowing just how difficult being a woman in tech would really be.
