Growing up in Ethiopia and moving to the United States at the age of six, I navigated the challenges of adapting to a new culture while striving for academic excellence. Through perseverance and dedication, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Highland Park Senior High in 2020.
In May 2024, I completed my double major in Computer Science and Digital Humanities from Bethel University. During my time at Bethel, I was an active member of the Black Student Union, contributing to the Community & Involvement Committee and the graphic design team. These experiences helped sharpen my leadership, creativity, and problem-solving skills, preparing me for the next chapter of my journey.
I am now the proud owner of Bread of Life, a clothing brand that allows me to express both my creative and technical sides. My business is a reflection of my passion for innovation, design, and community-building, all of which are central to who I am.
As a recent graduate and business owner, I am eager to continue making a positive impact, using my skills and experiences to contribute to both the tech and creative industries. I am excited for the opportunities ahead and remain committed to growing personally and professionally while inspiring others through my work.
