Latina technologist | Future Biomedical Engineer | AI Ethics & Health Tech Enthusiast

I'm Anahi Perez, a rising senior at Emory University double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, with plans to complete a dual degree in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech. My interests lie at the intersection of AI, healthcare innovation, and ethical tech policy. I’m passionate about using technology to uplift underrepresented communities, especially children with disabilities in low-income areas.

I’ve interned at PwC in healthcare tech consulting, conducted AI market analysis for HP Tech Ventures, and explored civic innovation through Emory’s AI.Data Lab. I’m also a mentor and advocate for first-gen and low-income students navigating STEM careers.
