[Gaelan]

I assume you just want it here?

• Name: Gaelan Steele
• Preferred Name/Nickname: as above
• preferred pronouns: she/her or they/them
• TimeZone / Core Hours: Pacific Time. I typically work 9am-5:30pm Pacific - I might start and finish a little earlier some days if there's an early meeting or I wake up earlier.
• Goals for Internship: Do work that makes someone's life easier, whether that's a patient, a healthcare provider, or someone at DSAC/CMS. Career-wise, get a sense of whether civic tech (and especially the federal government) is a field I'd be interested in long term.
• Goals for After Internship: Finish my last year at college. After that is something of an open question - trying to find work in the tech industry that's both intellectually interesting and does good, which it turns out is rather tricky.
• Hobbies/Interests: Big nerd about public transport. Will derail any conversation into a conversation about linguistics.
• Funfact(s): Used to speak fluent Mandarin, though it's quite rusty these days.
• Fav Emoji: 🦀
