About Me
I'm Sara Jain, a UCSC student pursuing a B.S. in Cognitive Science with an AI track. My passion lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and community impact.
With deep experience in programming, I've mastered Python and JavaScript, focusing on AI applications. I'm dedicated to making technology accessible to underserved communities through education and mentorship.
As President of Advocates For Equality Club, I've led initiatives that increased membership by 30% and expanded our service reach to three local community centers. I founded Bright Minds to provide coding education to underserved students.
Beyond tech, I'm committed to civic engagement, having mentored students in civics through the FDA Horner program and qualified for the International Career Development Conference through DECA.
