FinalistBio
Ever since a young age, I was fascinated with technology and its design. Apple, Inc. is a company that sold me when it came to this aspiration. The ingenuity of their devices captivated me every time I saw one. It was something that inspired and excited my creative spirit. My mind has been set on becoming an engineer for a large, top-notch company. I wondered how it would feel to be a part of the impact of technological advances that change our world. I am currently studying Information Systems because of the great balance between business and computer science. It best fits my creative mindset and problem-solving skills. My academic dedication will push me to achieve my high standard of tech expertise for next-level companies. As a Haitian-American first-generation college student, I am inspired by black leadership and I strive to make the positive change everywhere I go. We as a people can bring the utmost representation to our communities that truly need and deserve it. I am the Founder and CEO of my clothing brand, True Luv Apparel. I also have 7+ years of Volunteer Work at Calvary Christian Church (Lynnfield, MA). Furthermore, I am a passionate student who is always willing to learn new things! With the resources I have, I plan to make a great impact by teaching kids in underprivileged, underfunded communities how to code and develop computer skills. I look to break down the racial barriers in the technology industry as well.

Black Students in STEM Scholarship
Hi, my name is Obed Severe. I am a freshman at North Shore Community College majoring in Information Technology. I chose this field of study because I've been fascinated by the capability and design of tech devices since I was 12. The ingenuity of their devices captivated me every time I saw one. It was something that inspired and excited my creative spirit. My mind has been set on working for a large, top-notch company. I wondered how it would feel to be a part of the impact of technological advances that change our world. Companies like Apple and Microsoft showed me how innovative the industry was becoming, and I wanted to be a part of it. Now that I am in college, I plan to become a Python web developer for a pioneering tech company with a bachelor's degree in Information Technology. Later on, with my knowledge and experience in the industry, I aspire to help kids in under-resourced areas learn to code.
