FinalistBio
Hi there, I'm Jiangyi, but I also go by Joy! I'm a high school student from the California bay area exploring the intersection of computer science and public policy (ex. public interest technology). I'm passionate about gender and socioeconomic justice, human-centered design, community service, and the literary arts! In my free time, I love to read, visit new museums, write poems, and keep my Duolingo streak going.
