Sarah Tan

Sarah is passionate about VR and making a difference in the world. She was the Head TA for Building Virtual Worlds (Fall '16) and the only TA for Game Design, Prototyping and Production (Spring '16).

Where Sarah truly shines is in terms of her soft skills: as an extrovert, she loves working with people, is a great conflict mediator, and a natural leader.
