Nice to meet you!

Computer Science fascinates me because it teaches you so much more than how to program a computer. It teaches you how to learn. Hello again, my name is Nora Husani and I am a 2016 Software Engineering Graduate with a specialization in Technology Education. I now work as a Senior IT Analyst at Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I grew up in the Cleveland suburbs and from a young age have always been passionate about education and how we learn. In college my curiosity for learning only grew. On campus I founded a club called Kode2Learn where we visited local elementary schools in the Oxford area and taught 3rd-5th graders how to code. How to problem solve. How to learn. I've always found early childhood education fascinating because children are not like us in one very important way. Children do not see limitations. Children dream of the impossible and ask "well why can't we?" and it is this fresh point of view that pairs so well with programming. Through my studies I did not just grow to understand how we learn but I saw how much technology can positively affect society as well. My vision is to find meaning and fulfillment in my life by the contributions I make to my community through the enhancement of software and technologies.
