Hi, my name is Teija and I study Business Information Technology at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. Before starting my studies in January 2022, I had been working in customer service and account management, mostly in the travel industry. I am, however, extremely interested in the field of IT and looking to becoming an IT professional. I am from Finland but have spent about 11 years living abroad, mostly in the UK and only returned to my home country at the end of 2018. In my free time I love yoga, singing in a choir and cooking.

Hi, I am Kiran and I am currently studying BIT (Business Information Technology) at the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. I am originally from Nepal, but I have been residing in Finland for the past 5 years. I recently finished the graphic designing course. I am currently working in the restaurant field. The reason I joined the BIT is because I wanted to become a game creator as I have been playing games my whole life. I love singing and playing guitar, I watch anime during my free time and have a passion for cooking. I want to travel the whole world before I die.

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Library and Information Science program within IUPUI's School of Informatics. I am specializing in Academic Librarianship with specific interest areas in special collections, artists' books, and library makerspaces. I'm currently the Book Arts Program Director at the University of Richmond's Boatwright Memorial Library where I teach programming that encompasses hand bookbinding, artists' books, letterpress and relief printing, history of the book, visual storytelling, and anything else tangentially related to book art. If I'm not in the Book Arts Studio, I'm likely in my garden, thinking about being in my garden, or riding my bike.

I'm Michael and I'm a Media Arts & Science major at IUPUI's School of Informatics. My focus is specifically on game design and development, but I also like to work on web development related tasks. I really enjoy programming, so my plan is to continue working with the tech that I like and to create my own games and websites.
