Women Who Reign: Mey Nakash

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try” -John F Kennedy

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I attend a Jewish private school called Kohelet Yeshiva High School, located in Merion Station, PA, and will be turning 17 in May. One of the best decisions I have ever made in my life so far was switching into my school’s AP CSP class. I am the only girl taking the course, this being my first year coding! I have also starred in my school musical twice out of three productions!

What recent accomplishment in CS would you like to share?
I was selected as a 2017 Stanford #include fellow under the She++ organization among a large, national applicant pool.

What’s the next step in advancing your STEM career?
I would like to address issues of unconscious biases by doing more research on the subject and creating training workshops for middle and high schoolers. I also plan to create a platform for these resources to be offered to a wide range of people.

What # would define your life journey?
#nevergiveup
