Sophia is a third-year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo who has always been passionate about technology and coding since her childhood. Growing up in a small town, she often felt outnumbered in her interest in STEM, and now at Waterloo, she's become aware of the gender disparity in her program compared to other institutions. As an advocate for greater inclusivity in engineering and computer science, she actively participates in student groups aimed at empowering women in tech. Sophia hopes to help foster a more welcoming culture at her university that draws more women into these fields.
