About me:

Joel is a rising senior studying Computer Science living in Lowell House. He was born and raised in Nairobi. He took a gap year before college and he’s big into exploring rabbit holes like art and music. He plays the acoustic guitar and he’s down to jam. He’s covered 7% of all the bluebike stations in Boston and is down to bike/run with all the nature/strava freaks. On campus some of the things he’s been involved with are club soccer, Tech for Social Good and the African Students’ Association. In his free time, he’s playing some form of sport, jamming with friends in the courtyard, or playing FIFA
