AWS SBG Lead, since Oct 2025

AWS SBG - AdU

A 70+ member cloud community at Adamson University, formerly AWS Cloud Club AdU.

When I first stepped into tech communities, I didn't have many women in tech to look up to. I wanted to help create the kind of space I wish I had: one where students feel welcomed and empowered to find opportunities beyond the classroom.

As AWS SBG Lead, I focus on three things: making cloud learning accessible, bringing external opportunities to students, and helping members grow their skills through hands-on experience and AWS certifications (soon).

AWS Student Builders Group Lead & President
Since
October 2025
Community
70+ members

What I'm building

  • A space to belong. Welcome students into cloud technology and connect them with peers who share their interests.
  • A pathway to certification. Connect members with AWS certification opportunities, sponsored exam vouchers, and programs that make credentials more accessible.
  • A bridge to opportunities. Bring external programs, industry connections, events, and learning opportunities closer to students.
  • A launchpad for careers. Help members gain practical experience, strengthen their skills, and prepare for internships and future roles in tech.
