About me

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always been interested in creating using technology. Beginning as an interest in developing video games, my passion for IT has grown over my school years into a desire to design and build digital experiences, particularly with the intent of educating or otherwise benefitting people. I also enjoy the problem-solving aspects of more low-level computer science. I’m studying a Bachelor of IT at the Queensland University of Technology, with the hope of moving into a career in software engineering or cybersecurity. Ultimately, the impact I’d like to have on the tech industry, and on society as a whole, is one that improves people’s lives and strengthens human connection across the internet and beyond. I also hope to contribute to the representation of women and LGBTQ+ people throughout the industry. Outside of my study, I also enjoy baking, singing, learning languages, and programming for fun.
"I'm very excited for the opportunities that the Scholars Network will provide for me, particularly the Scholar's Summits and the potential to form connections with like-minded students. I'm equally excited for the chance to later give back and make my own contribution to the network."
