Bio

As a woman in Information Technology (IT) working in higher education, I have the incredible opportunity to engage with elementary students through STEM presentations and inspire young women to pursue education in STEM fields. With enthusiasm and passion, I share my own experiences and knowledge, highlighting the exciting possibilities that STEM offers. Through interactive demonstrations, I encourage young minds to explore coding, robotics, and other STEM disciplines. Additionally, I emphasize the fascinating intersection of art and technology, showcasing how these fields can be combined in an interdisciplinary major to create innovative and creative solutions.
