Hi there! I'm a student-athlete currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science. In my free time, I lead and teach a cohort of young women the basics of programming, and run an eCommerce business. Hopefully, by combining both my creative and analytical tendencies, I'll develop something that aids all of society. How did I start my eCommerce business? Well, I love designing things and saw an opportunity within a niche pop-culture market. Additionally, it allows me to advocate for issues I deeply care for. Most recently, I've designed and sold 4 new original products in which 100% of proceeds were donated to aid global youth education, specifically in STEM. With the help of my supporters, we have raised $1k+ to donate to Girls Who Code and Code.org; nonprofits dedicated to increasing the number of women and other minority groups within CS by providing accessible and affordable resources. And with that, I have had the pleasure of educating 2000 people about the gender gap within CS and the ways we as a society can solve this issue. Programs ran by these nonprofits introduced me to the field of STEM during middle school and without them, I would have not found my passion! It's super cool and rewarding to see how I can apply my programming skills to business, education, design and so much more. I can't way to see how this application can be further developed during my time at college.
