About Me
Hi! My name is Abby. I am a rising third-year student at Grinnell College studying Computer Science and Statistics.
My passion for computer science began the summer after my sophomore year of high school, when I enrolled in Girls Who Code's Summer Immersion Program. That experience sparked a love for problem-solving and innovation that continues to drive my academic and professional pursuits today.
I am particularly interested in exploring the intersection of AI/ML and bioinformatics. My goal is to contribute to the development of better, more reliable solutions for people living with chronic health conditions. Projects like OpenAPS inspire me to think about how technology can empower individuals and transform healthcare systems.
In addition to my academic studies, I am passionate about giving back to the community. From October 2024 to May 2025, I volunteered as a Facilitator with Girls Who Code. Through this program, I tought programming fundamentals—such as variables, data types, and more—to middle school girls at Grinnell-Newburg Middle School every week. It has been incredibly rewarding to help foster the next generation of female programmers. This fall, I am looking forward to continuing my involvement with this program as a Facilitator Lead, handling more administrative, logistical tasks.
