Winning this scholarship puts me in a position to inspire everyone, especially young women, to achieve their goals. I want to emphasize the importance of research and development, and how we can contribute to the computer science community. I feel one of the biggest challenges in technology is that women refrain from pursuing research. I want to curb this mentality by growing myself with Adobe Research and working towards my PhD, and by being the change I wish to see in this world.
