Alyssa Frederick is a rising senior studying Product Design and Computer Science at Stanford University. She is from Los Angeles California. She is Indonesian on her mother’s side and German, Spanish and Native American on her father’s side. Alyssa is passionate about empowering women to dive deep into STEM because she would not have done it without the push and support of her family and teachers around her. In her free time she does a lot of dancing (pre ACL tear), concert-going, scuba diving, and making memories with friends. 

Alyssa is joining Design for Bangladesh as a Teaching Fellow. She believes our interdisciplinary version of design-thinking that also integrates programming and policy analysis is crucial because nothing exists in a vacuum. Alyssa is excited to join Design for Bangladesh to help create spaces for the students, and herself, to learn and grow in.
