A first-year software engineering student is passionate about seeing what she can accomplish at Waterloo.
Charlene Rocha brings with her a wide range of experience from leading climate change events and strikes at Queen’s Park to heading up a Canadian high school chapter of an initiative to 3D print prosthetic limbs and advocating for women in STEM.
Her impressive accomplishments were recognized with the 2021 Meridian Commitment to Communities Sean Jackson Scholarship, which recognizes her energy, creativity and entrepreneurial skills to solve or address a vital community problem.
Along with promoting the STEM fields of study to young women, Rocha also wants to continue exploring 3D printing and its vast possibilities.
“I’m also looking forward to meeting new people and exploring new ideas with them,” she says. “I want to collaborate with others and create something amazing.”
