Hello, I'm Shamia Allen, a coding intern for a non-profit organization called Empowered, at GloTouch Technologies and a senior at Dupont Manual High School.
I was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), which means my movement is limited and some of my joints are curved, to a certain extent. Being different has brought numerous ups and downs throughout my life. But it has also taught me many lessons, such as, never let anyone tell you what you're able/ not able to do and it's okay to be different.
After high school, I plan on attending EKU and majoring in forensic chemistry, while minoring in African American studies. These two fields have had my interest since middle school, solely because they aren't taught in many school systems.
If I'm not coding then fishing, music, self education, or quality family time has my attention.
