Wendy Nevarez-Sanchez ; Engagement Coordinator

Wendy, an Atlanta native and graduate of Atlanta Public Schools, has always been passionate about STE(A)M and innovation. As a high school student at South Atlanta High School, she collaborated with her mentor on research about muscle activation for exoskeleton optimization, leading her to become a District finalist in the 2020 International Science and Engineering Fair. She has since worked with various Atlanta-based nonprofits to support underrepresented communities and recently traveled to Jamaica to facilitate a coding camp for young girls. In her free time, Wendy enjoys watching documentaries, dancing, and spending time with her family.
