Changes

I am a junior at Ithaca College, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Data Science. Originally from Kenya, I spent two years in Singapore for my International Baccalaureate at United World College South East Asia. Grounded in the mission of making education a force for peace, unity, and a sustainable future, UWC has shaped and continues to shape my purpose today. As a child, I always dreamed of becoming a lawyer to advocate for marginalized voices, give a voice to the voiceless. Over time, that drive to create change has continued to evolve and found new outlets like technology. Discovering programming has been a huge turning point for me. Watching how a few lines of code could build tools that change millions of lives will forever be an inspiration. That sense of possibility, of creating meaningful, scalable change has fueled a deep interest in ethical technology, human-centered design, emerging technologies like AI and ethical tech laws. Across my experiences in research, teaching, IT, and marketing roles, I continuously explore how digital tools can be used to solve real-world problems. From a summer research with my professor on the ethics of Generative AI ,to my work as a student service desk consultant , I remain committed to using technology not just as a tool to innovate, but as a means to bridge societal gaps in an equitable, ethical and meaningful way.
