Emma Ward
Emma Ward, a Lake Hamilton High School Senior, got her start in TSA as a sophomore in a chapter that had been founded recently by older friends of hers. These friends knew her interest in Computer Science and took the time to introduce her to TSA. She had been working with code and robotics from a young age due to her family’s involvement in CS and her own fascination with it, so TSA seemed like the perfect next step. As she learned more, she realized how important TSA was to her and others in allowing a space for design and free-thinking CS work, and wanted to be a part of it on a higher level than a chapter member, so took the initiative from mentors to run for State Office. She is a member of numerous other organizations (Band, Advanced Choir, Code.Org Ambassadorship, NHHS, Beta Club etc.), but TSA has always been her escape. She is looking forward to being a part of the new Wolf Technology Showcase and being given the opportunity to meet you all throughout the year.
