Ricky-Ann Mitchell

Club Preesident

I'm majoring in cybersecurity because I'm passionate about safeguarding people and data in a world that is becoming more and more digital. I also have a strong commitment to advocating for disability rights; despite having a speech impairment, writing has helped me find my voice, and I'm learning how to use speech software with confidence to keep having an impact.
