Meet The Team

Tierra Buissereth

My name is Tierra Buissereth. I am a rising junior at Scotch Plains Fanwood High School in Scotch Plains, NJ. At school, I am a member of the marching band and the Vice President of French Club. In my free time I like to watch TV, read the news, listen to music, and educate myself on social justice matters. During this past summer, I was given the opportunity to participate in the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. Through the program I learned several coding languages and how to use coding for good.

Aurpita Shafi

I am Aurpita Shafi, and I am a rising junior at Mainland Regional High School in Linwood, NJ. I am really interested in politics. I also really enjoy volunteering with my friends, so I am in Interact Club and Key Club. I am also in Spanish Club. I am also a member of the Society of Young Muslim Women. In my free time, I enjoy watching telenovelas on Netflix, and taking naps. Before this program, I found computer science a little boring, and didn't really see any flexibility with it, but after this program, I have seen that it is an incredibly diverse field, and I hope to go further with this, and see the difference I can make with it.
