    College of Engineering | B.S in Computer Science | Founder & Co-Host of TechTalk Podcast

    During Winter 2024, I had the privilege of diving into Podium Education's Coding for Web track, offered through The Global Career Accelerator, under the guidance of instructors Barent L. and Ashton Regensberg. The experience showed me that coding isn't just about solving technical challenges—it’s about creating meaningful change. I saw firsthand how technology can be a tool for building solutions that benefit society. This journey perfectly aligns with my personal mission: to connect technology and humanity to create a better future. Special thanks to Brooke Roberts, whose insightful event this week and continuous leadership in the Global Career Accelerator have been a guiding light. From her inspiring work in tech to her vast travel experiences, Brooke has shown me how technology can break boundaries and bring people together across the world Now, as I continue my work on projects like podcasting, sustainability initiatives, and representing my peers as part of the College of Engineering Student Senator at Wayne State University, I’m committed to using these experiences to push boundaries and help create a more sustainable, tech-driven future. 🌍💻 Let’s keep pushing boundaries and coding for a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow! ✨ "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." – Eleanor Roosevelt ✨ #GlobalTech #PodiumGlobalTech #TechForGood #Innovation #Sustainability #DreamBig #CodingForHumanity #WomenInSTEM
