Women Who Reign: Nupur Garg

“Nobody talks about entrepreneurship as a survival, but that’s exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking. Running that first shop taught me business is not financial science; it’s about trading: buying and selling.” — Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I am a Bay Area native, currently attending school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I am in my last year of college as a masters student in the five year Computer Science blended masters (BS/MS) program. For the last two summers, I have interned at Square on Caviar and Square Cash. I love teaching and tutoring introductory computer science courses as well as volunteering and working with groups trying to improve diversity and inclusion within tech.

Fun Fact: In May I organized Expanding Engineering, where we brought 100 high school students to campus to learn about five topics within Computer Science. It combined my interest in teaching and improving diversity within tech. Although it was likely the hardest thing I’ve done, it was also the most rewarding.
