Macarena is a '''Computer Science''' student at graduate from Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, currently in the 5th year. She started studying Engineering, but she fell in love with coding during the first year’s year's introductory courses. Although she really liked what she would be capable of doing studying CS, ''she thought it was a major for more intelligent people''. That is the reason why she explore explored a little more by doing extracurricular and interdisciplinary activities, in order to meet new people and learn about their experiences. Doing so, ''she got a realization that she was all the time around a computational way of thinking to solve problems, and also around software systems to help with that''. She changed her major to CS at the in her 3rd year and she is happy with the decision. She is an optimistic person and she is always with a smile on her face trying to help every person that crosses paths with her. It began when she realized that, '''<u>although some people had hurt your confidence, there will be someone who can help you to get it back and trust in yourself</u>'''. She feels lucky because she learned from amazing people from her university different points of view to create her own. She admires how these people lead and '''wants to help people gain their confidence''' in the positive way that she could do it, learning that each idea is important to create a final solution and to consider each point of view, despite it not matching with her own. Since the beginning of her journey, Macarena has been enjoying every meeting with new faces to learn something about them. '''Her career interests are related to Algorithms and Data Structures, but she also has a strong passion for Theoretical Computer Science and Computational Linguistics. She aspires to do a Masters degree in that areas.'''

Since 2018*Academic mentor of Math*Teacher Assistant in the beginning area of her journey, Macarena has been enjoying every meeting with new faces to learn something about them. '''Her career interests are related to algorithms and data structures, but she also has a strong passion for how maths can impact in an artistic good design.''' Science

==Activities==2019She was '''academic mentor *[[Organization:AIESEC|AIESEC]] member: in the area of Math''' during her 2nd year. When it ended, she started as Incoming Global Volunteers*[[SpinOut]] member: attended design thinking workshops and a workshop on innovation methodologies*Teacher Assistant in the area course Innovation and Development of Science. Macarena hoped the work required to give extra classes to her classmates, but it was to help in the organization of the courses. She became part of '''AIESEC''' in the team of Incoming Products*Global Volunteers, which characterizes Volunteer in giving support to young people who are coming to Perú to do volunteering work.
