My pronouns are she\/her, and I am a Somali-American born and raised in Rochester, Minnesota. Before college, I grew up in a town with the #1 hospital in the world, where everyone worked in healthcare, and while that piqued my interest, I knew I didn\u2019t want to be a doctor or a nurse. So when I chose Computer Science at St. Olaf, I decided to take a leap of faith by trying something new and later discovered that there is so much overlap between tech and just about anything, and that is how I discovered bio\/med tech, allowing me to explore the intersection between both, which is something I really admire about STEM. Along with that, coming from a marginalized community and growing up in a low-income family, seeing a woman of color in STEM was not a representation I had through my youth, and it is still something a lot of today\u2019s youth are facing as well. So I hope to be able to bridge that gap and be an inspiration to a lot of the other people who didn\u2019t see that representation growing up, that it is still possible! Through the NSM Action Team, I hope to be able to break the barrier and also create a community outside of just being technical and academic, but also social and communicative with each other!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><!-- end-migrated-from-panel-builder --><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2735,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3807","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3807"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5332,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3807\/revisions\/5332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
