My Story

About Me

I’m Audrey, a 15 year old Year 11 student at Glendowie College in Auckland, New Zealand. I’m a passionate computer science student, aiming to create meaningful coding projects, and aspiring to create sustainable technology that will help our society.

In school, I co-lead Glendowie College’s Coding Club, teaching members different coding languages and enabling them to create their own projects. I am also actively involved in the school’s service group Interact and Sustainability group. Out of school, I volunteer at local opportunity shops and service organizations.

Right now, I am working on new programming projects and organizing events, whether they be within my school or in the wider community. I’m always keen to meet other coders, future leaders and anyone involved in the technology field.
