Women Who Reign: Mikaela Helene Ocampo Reyes

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I hail from the sunny Philippine islands and am finishing my Economics and Psych double major and data analysis minor at Wesleyan University, studying as a Freeman Asian Scholar. I’m a self-taught designer, front-end web developer and soon-to-be tech product manager. When I graduate, I’ll be joining a technology fellowship program in San Francisco for 3 months. I believe in the power of tech in uplifting communities and economies. In the future, it is my hope to bring all my learnings about the tech industry back home so I can uplift the economy of the Philippines. I love underwater activities like scuba diving and snorkeling, and strongly dislike the taste and smell of fries. (See picture attached! That’s me on the left.)
