Lucy Z. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Lucy is a senior at Stanford, getting her undergrad and masters in Computer Science, also pursuing a minor in Creative Writing. She's interested in exploring the intersection between technology and humanities, developing software that helps not harms. In 2020, she graduated from Sydney Girls High School in the top 1% of her state, while also playing competitive basketball and water polo and being part of Student Government. During high school, she developed her love for teaching, coding and robotics through founding and teaching a club for students. She has also has over 3 years experience as a tutor for high school students. At University, she has continued her love for developing and tinkering (CS project-based and design classes), and her love for the humanities (Writing workshops and history classes). She's currently building a product that uses AI to combat misinformation, and becoming a female founder.

Lucy grew up in Sydney, Australia close to the beach, so outside of school, Lucy loves escaping to any source of water: swimming, surfing, or floating in fountains on campus! She also worked as a student researcher for Stanford’s Human-AI Centre and in the Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab, organizes notoriously fun Boba Nights and Karaoke while on her Class Cabinet, and serves as a Stanford Tour Guide, which serves as an opportunity for her to continue to practice her best American accent on unsuspecting visitors!
