Biography<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My name is Anashe Morewell Gaseller. In 1998 my mother and father immigrated from Zimbabwe to America so that I could have more opportunities and a better education. Just as any immigrant child will tell you, from an early age my parents instilled in me a gratitude and emphasis on the importance of education, a privilege made possible through my parents’ difficult decision to immigrate. Because of my parents\u2019 sacrifice, I have always strived for the highest academic success. As my mother put it \u2013 lovingly, when I was 7: \u201cI didn\u2019t bring you to this country to be average, I brought you to thrive.\u201d Everything I do, I aim to make them proud and their sacrifice worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In high school I had my first exposure to computer science and was attracted to its predictability and limitlessness. I pursue computer science as my major because the idea that I could use computers to solve a range of problems is empowering to me. Since high school I have created a number of projects and engaged in numerous endeavors all with the goal of making me a better problem solver and computer scientist. I am a class representative for the Honors college and teachers assistant, tutor, and student researcher in the CS department at Xavier University as well as a project founder and manager in the Business Division . As a student at a STEM-focused Historically Black University, I want to pursue graduate studies and broaden my expertise in order to find solutions in the intersections between computer science, mathematics, and economics to address complex challenges facing communities like mine. In doing so, I aim to be an example for other diverse groups of students and inspire others to pursue academic achievement in the sciences for public service and a greater good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5093,"template":"","profile_category":[25],"class_list":["post-5091","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2026-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5091\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5094,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/5091\/revisions\/5094"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=5091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
