Hi! I’m Navya Bhardwaj, a Computer Science major at MSU with minors in Data Science, CMSE, and Business. I chose CS because I love the problem-solving process and how it allows me to build tools that make a real impact. WIC has been a space where I’ve felt genuinely supported and encouraged to grow, both professionally and personally. It’s helped me build confidence in tech spaces, and now, as an e-board member, I hope to do the same for others. I’m also a co-director of SpartaHack, have worked as an Undergraduate Learning Assistant, and interned at Morgan Stanley as a Technology Summer Analyst. Outside of academics and extracurriculars, I enjoy going to the gym, doomscrolling till I sleep and actually sleeping after

Hello! My name is Sitara Baxendale and I am an incoming senior here at MSU studying Computer Science Engineering with a minor in Cognitive Science. I chose to study CSE because of my passion for coding and the versatility the degree offers in career paths post graduation! I am currently a Admin for the Women in Engineering Outreach Office for K-12 Coding Camps here on campus. Furthermore, this summer 2025 I am interning at Bank of America in Chicago, IL as a Software Engineering Intern. My favorite part about WIC is meeting and becoming friends with girls in the same field as I, as well as the opportunities the club provides such as meeting with companies and attending conferences. With that, my favorite WIC memory is the Grace Hopper Conference!

Hi, my name is Olivia Whitlock and I am WIC's treasurer for the 2025-2026 school year! I am a junior majoring in computer science, and this is my third year in WIC. I joined WIC in the fall of my freshman year to meet more women in computer science since I hadn't really started taking CSE classes yet. WIC has given me so many of my friends that I see both in and outside of class, and has truly given me a strong base of support. Outside of WIC, I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi here on campus. Some hobbies of mine include reading (my favorite genre is sci-fi), listening to music (Lana Del Rey is my fav), and scrapbooking. I'm so excited to be able to give back to the club that has already given me so much!

Hi! I’m Safa, a Computer Engineering major with a Business minor at MSU. I’ve always loved the challenge of problem-solving and creating things that make a difference, which naturally drew me to engineering. Over time, I found a special interest in AI, automation, and how tech can be used to build smarter systems and meaningful solutions. On campus, I’m the Secretary of the MSU AI Club, a CoRe Peer Leader for first-year engineering students, and now the Social Chair for Women in Computing! I love being part of communities that support growth, collaboration, and empowerment—WIC has been one of my favorite spaces for that. I’m excited to plan inclusive, fun events that help members connect and feel more at home in tech. Outside of class, I enjoy photography, playing and coaching volleyball, and trying out new cafes. My goal is to continue creating spaces where people feel welcome, supported, and inspired to lead—whether that’s through mentorship, leadership, or simply showing up for others.
