About

I was only a few years old when I would stare at the apps on my dad's phone in awe, wondering what kind of magic people used to create it. I was a few years older than that when I would dream up my very own robot inventions. A few years older than that when I first learned the rules of electricity. And then at 12, first learning of Technovation and endlessly dreaming about the different apps I could create. Fast forward to 15 years old, with three different Technovation awards under my belt, including one Grand Prize, and I'm learning more about STEM everyday, and still falling in love each new rule, fact, or theory I learn. 

STEM has always been a passion of mine, but I will be honest when I say that I never felt like I could code. It always seemed like it was too hard to learn. Technovation changed all that. Technovation breaks down computer sciences into simple and clear lessons that, when put all together, allows you to put the information to use and create something. In my first season, I really surprised myself with how much I was able to learn and how much more confident I became in my coding abilities in just a few months. Not only that, but Technovation sparked my newfound passion for marketing, and gave me the space to practice my love for public speaking. 

When you look at all the ways Technovation has benefited me, it's easy to see why I became a Technovation Student Ambassador this year. I want to help every single girl see that the hesitant, doubting version of themselves is already so talented and intelligent. As a Student Ambassador, I aspire to be the mentor they need to feel fully confident in themselves and help them achieve their goals.
