Scholarship Recipient Highlight
My name is Kaitlyn Musni and I am a senior at Kent-Meridian High School. Aside from Girls Who Code, I am a member in our school’s National Honor’s Society, Builder’s Group, am a president for Filipino Club and am in a small robotics group with my friends. Additionally, I had the opportunity to attend a week-long engineering program (NYLF Engineering) at UC Berkeley over the summer, where I learned multiple principles and fields of engineering. This program enhanced my interest in STEM and led me to choosing the discipline to study in college—computer engineering. These extra-curricular activities and being a full IB Diploma Candidate have definitely taught me how to be well-rounded and maintain balance in my life. At home, I also share the responsibility of taking care of my mother, who is in recovery of suffering from cancer three years ago. Not only does this take a toll on my mental health, but also on my financial opportunities for college. But thanks to the Female for Tech Scholarship, I am a step closer to being able to prolong my education and pursue computer engineering in college.
