Changes

Initially, when I started my first year, I wanted to be an environmental engineer, but after taking a programming course, I fell in love with coding and it became my passion. Since then, I have been experimenting and exploring different side projects to improve my programming and problem-solving skills. I did some cool mini projects like automating a program that logs onto my online classes for me, one that automates playing piano tiles, and even went as far as making an app that is similar using web scraping to Google Drive automate collecting information for one of my university coursesresearch assistant jobs. I linked these projects, among several others that I worked on to my [https://github.com/Hippity GitHub]. I am currently leading the development of a text-to-speech application for the Phoenician language as a research assistant. 

During my journey at AUB, I found another passion for myself, which ironically ended up being the reason for my presence in the UIF program, entrepreneurship. My friends and I had decided to join a hackathon, where we ended up winning first place! As a result, I founded and am developing a startup called FoxFeed. While working on FoxFeed, my team and I joined the accelerator program at AUB, and that is where I really began learning how to be an entrepreneur. From pitching to investing, to even learning how to be a leader: my interest in entrepreneurship began to increase, especially since it was an interest something that I could combine with my love for programming and create projects that could help those around me.
