Hey everyone! I’m Aditi, a first-year student at the Allen School studying Computer Science, and this is my first year as a mentor with CIC! Here at UW I am involved in HOMEROOM, a media platform for people of Asian descent to creatively explore different issues, as I love to express myself through storytelling. My main career goal is to leverage AI, machine learning, and programming in general to facilitate social good and uplift local communities, while being able to do something creatively within that. In my free time, I love to crochet, listen to music, and spend time going on adventures with friends. .

Hello! I am a second-year student at the University of Washington studying Computer Science. I am passionate about the social impact of technology and how we can create positive change through it, which is why I decided to join Changemakers In Computing. Previously, I was a CIC mentee and enjoyed my experience and want to share it with others as well. I am also interested in data science and analysis. In my free time I like playing video games, listening to music, and watching anime. I also love going to concerts and am a Notion enthusiast.

Hi everyone! I’m a third-year student at the University of Washington majoring in Computer Science. I’m a first-generation Mexican-American and the first in my family to pursue a Bachelor’s degree. As someone from an underrepresented background in the computing community, I empathize with the adversity that our particular identities afford us. I’m passionate about the facilitation of diversity within computing and creating spaces where changemakers like you feel celebrated in your contributions. In my free time, I enjoy watching horror movies, doing jigsaw puzzles, and playing video games. I’m so excited to be a Mentor this summer and connect with our Mentees!

Hello Everyone! I’m Ebrahim, a first-year student here at UW Allen School studying Computer Science, and this is my first year as a mentor with CIC.

Hello! My name is Jessica Massey. I am currently a second year at the University of Washington, studying computer science and interdisciplinary honors. This is my second year as a mentor with CIC.

Hi! I’m Suk Jin, a sophomore intending to study in Informatics and Education, Community and Organisations(ECO). This is my second year as a CIC mentor, and I’m passionate about accessibility in educational technology. I’m looking forward to supporting the mentees with our inclusive learning environment.

Hi! I’m Viba, a first year student at UW intending on double majoring in computer science and psychology, and this is my first year being a part of CIC as a mentor. I’m really passionate about computer science and the people and ethics side of it (which is why I’m also doing psychology). I think computer science and technology can have a huge impact and can intersect with so many different interests, which most people don’t initially realize! I hope to one day work somewhere interesting like the Pentagon and travel. I love fashion and in my free time I like to go thrifting, read books, and design tattoos!

Hi everyone! I’m Violet (although everyone calls me Vi), a first year in the Allen School and also a philosophy student. I am part of the Husky Robotics team working on the web interface and parts of the physical interface. Before UW, I was in FRC (go Skunks and Phoenix Force Robotics!). I love cooking for friends and family, hiking on the weekends, and am engaged in grassroots activism in Seattle. To this day, I want to contribute to accessible online and physical technologies while being cognizant of ethical implications of its development and use, and hope to inspire other young, LGBTQ+ students to develop technologies they are passionate about.

Hi, everyone! I’m Andrea, and I am a junior at the Allen School studying Computer Science and Education, Learning, & Society.
