Agnes Ouko

Agnes has been praised for her intellectual curiosity and academic integrity and has excelled in a variety of subjects: English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Outside the classroom, Agnes served as a mentor with Wings to Fly, an organization which is part of the Equity Group Foundation. Agnes was inspired and motivated by her troubled past to provide academic and emotional support to those in difficult situations similar to her own. In addition, Agnes was a volunteer at her church and was involved with their outreach program for orphaned children with HIV/AIDS. Besides her volunteer endeavors, Agnes has shown interest and aptitude for extra-curricular science projects, athletics and environmental work. Agnes is well aware of Kenya’s challenges in the realm of technological development. She cites the 2013 election – which saw an attempted implantation of an electronic voting system – as a prime example of these challenges. Agnes hopes to use the expertise gained from a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science to move Kenya into the right direction. She plans to work for the Kenyan government to advocate and facilitate technological growth. She is excited at the opportunity to educate young computer scientists in Kenya and provide them with wholesome and applicable instruction.
