Hi I'm Siyona, a Senior at Henry M. Gunn High School! I love programming and hope to major in CS! I first started Magnolia HackHERS with Cathy as a sophomore because we both saw the lack of girls in our STEM classes. Witnessing the gender gap and taking steps to impact it, taught me that any challenge can be overcome! When I'm not at my computer I love to read, bake, and play with my dog, Oscar.
