Athena
Engineering Mentor
Athena graduated with a Master's degree in Engineering at Cornell University and previously studied Data Science and Technology Entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley. Her work sits at the intersection of technology, creativity, and strategic thinking. Across startups, analytics roles, and independent ventures, she has helped build products, analyze complex datasets, and design projects that move from idea to execution.
Athena believes that the most compelling applications are built around authentic intellectual exploration. Rather than chasing generic achievements, she hopes to help students identify the questions that genuinely interest them and turn those interests into real-world impact.
