Bio

I am a first-year undergraduate student at Barnard College of Columbia University in the city of New York. Currently pursuing an undecided bachelor's degree with a minor in statistics/data science, I hope to continue my education in grad school post-graduation. Professionally, I work part-time as an unpaid UX/UI designer at Generation She and a fundraising specialist at LetsStopAIDS. I am a passionate advocate for intersectional feminism, youth HIV prevention and awareness, and one of my main goals in life is to close the gender gap in the current leadership landscape. Recently, I gained a new title of Youth Researcher, researching the impacts of COVID-19 on youth and how youth are responding as a part of UNESCO's competitive Youth As Researchers (YAR) global program, luckily selected among 6000 other applicants.
