Olivia Bui
Workshop Director

Hi, my name is Olivia Bui and I am currently a freshman at California State University, Long Beach studying Molecular Cell Biology and Physiology! I love STEM as it pushes me to remain curious and explore all these different concepts that serve as building blocks while deconstructing these building blocks to discover more. Her STEM Space provides opportunities to highlight different STEM pathways and recognize notable women in STEM which I truly want to be involved in, allowing me to interact with other women interested in STEM and encouraging women that STEM will always be an option too!

Julia Chen
Workshop Director

Hi, my name is Julia (jul) Chen. I’m 17 years old. I attend Columbia High School & am dual-enrolled full time at Southwestern Illinois College. I’m currently in 12th grade of high school and my 2nd year of college. I’ve been interested in STEM from a young age. I’ve always been fascinated with life sciences (plant, animal, & biology), dermatology, basic computer science, science of developmental learning, and the overall science integrated into creating new solutions. I’m currently pursuing a dual-degree for business marketing and human-computer interaction. My main focus for the past year has been on the science of developmental learning for young children. I am ESL tutor for a Chinese-American 1st grader and previously tutored middle schoolers. I’m currently researching and trying out different methodologies for enriching learning experiences.

My name is Ariana Thomas and I live on Oahu, in Hawaii, USA. I go to Mililani High School and am a senior. I’ve always been interested in STEM, being that there’s a shortage of women in STEM in hawaii. I volunteer and participate in clubs (Cyber Patriots, Math team) to advocate for the next generation of HS students to explore their passions in STEM!
