FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 18TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"My vision of positively impacting the world through technology began at UW. Growing from a naive student to an aspiring researcher, I have been challenged to find myself and proactively push for change 鈥� UW has empowered me to use technology to serve, advocate for diverse communities, and combat social inequities. I look forward to taking my Husky Experience to graduate school and the technology industry, where I hope to promote social good in the world using the power of technology."
