Emily Wilson
I'm a senior studying Computer Science with a minor in Psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. I've loved exploring every aspect of CS, and I have a special interest in the intersection of education and technology. Currently, I'm exploring a variety of topics in CS, from web development to machine learning and AI, and I'm always open to learning something new!
Outside of classes, I work as a teaching assistant for the CS department in our engineering school, and over the past two and a half years, I co-founded and ran Girls Who Code - WashU to help introduce girls from around St. Louis to the amazing world of computer science. If I'm not working on CS, you can probably catch me attempting to solve a crossword puzzle with friends or slowly stitching my way through a cross-stitch.
