Hi everyone! I’m Selina, and I’m from California (in the US). I am a high school student, and that is how my interest in programming began. Although I love coding, but I am still somewhat of a beginner. I can write code in Python and some Java. I look forward to getting to interact with all you lovely people through OpenMRS and GCI!

Hi everyone, forgot to introduce myself :relaxed:

I’m Zoë, a 17 year old student from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I came to know about OpenMRS through Google Code-In. I like writing :pencil2: , making videos :movie_camera: , ice hockey, science :microscope: , cats :cat: and helping others. The OpenMRS community has been very welcoming and helpful these past few weeks . Finishing high school puts you at crossroads, it’s pretty hard choosing a career path at only 17. I would have never thought of studying computer science :computer: before December last year. However, my experience with OpenMRS on Google Code-In has opened my eyes on how open sourcing, health IT and computer science can make an impact in the world. With confidence I can now say that I do know what path I intend on and I definitely will continue contributing to OpenMRS :smile:
