About me
From pulling apart air-conditioners to learning programming and winning an ANSTO Science Hackathon, I have always been fascinated by technology and the role it plays in our lives. This passion led me to study Engineering (Mechatronics) and Computer Science at the University of Wollongong, where I am developing the skills needed to work across many areas of technology. I believe technology should be used to build a future where human needs come first and innovation benefits society as a whole. I am also passionate about creating pathways for people from all backgrounds to enter the technology field, and I advocate for the responsible use of AI in teaching, learning, and wellbeing.
Through my studies and this scholarship, I hope to collaborate with like-minded individuals to develop technology that brings humanity closer to a future where everyone's needs are met.
