Bio
Hello! My name is Julianna Alderete and I aspire to be a Software Engineer. As a woman in STEM, I have experienced firsthand how male-dominated the field is and I wish to change that. I hope to be able to advance my education and meet more women in STEM who I can work with to expand the role that women have in the field. I have worked at my high school to represent my Computer Science pathway to advocate for individuals to join, especially young girls figuring out their goals and aspirations. In the future, I dream to continue this path and guide more young women to the STEM field. On a lighter note, I absolutely love to read, crochet, spend time with my friends, family, and pets! I love to discuss books with others and find that it's one of the biggest connectors I have with other people.
