About Safika Alam
I’m a passionate Computer Science junior at Hunter College, with a growing interest in bioinformatics, where technology meets biology to solve pressing challenges in healthcare and research. My goal is to deepen my knowledge in this interdisciplinary field while gaining hands-on experience through research, internships, and collaborative projects.Beyond the classroom, I’m actively involved in organizations that encourage diversity and inclusion in STEM, including: Breakthrough Tech - An organization preparing the next generation of women and non-binary leaders in tech. CodePath – An organization advancing technical skills and career readiness in software engineering. Girls Who Code & Women in Computer Science – Organizations empowering underrepresented groups to thrive in tech.I’m eager to connect with peers, mentors, and professionals in bioinformatics and tech to explore opportunities, share insights, and contribute to meaningful innovation.
