In 2016, I did a program called Girls Who Code which is a movement dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology related fields! GWC inspired me to take what I learned and to share it with others. In December of that year, I visited a village in Kenya called Amboseli. There I met so many children who were extremely fascinated by the technology they saw. They loved taking pictures and playing games on phones. I have decided to take computer science education to the children who have no access to it whatsoever. By 2030 Nairobi is projected to have a world class metropolis. My goal is to have educated the children in areas like Amboseli so they have enough experience to start a career and support their families in ways never possible to them before. I am raising money for laptops, solar panels, and internet access for the children.

I hope that you are able to find out more about me with my portfolio. I have often been described as hardworking and persistent. I have a willingness to learn and explore new things. I love being creative and challenged at the same time. When I was younger, I started to teach myself simple programming languages such as HTML, and since then I have applied my skills during many projects. I have designed websites for myself and clubs in school. I'm extremely passionate about computer science and i'm excited to continue pursuing this field. I am a member of girls who code. I am looking forward to creating new relationships and starting on new paths.
