#4 Meet Roissyah Fernanda Khoiroh, One of the Bangkit Alums Who Can Inspire Your Students!

Last February, Lepas Sambut Bangkit 2024, held in a hybrid format from the Google Indonesia Office, was attended by various important guests, including several inspiring and accomplished alums. One of them was Roissyah Fernanda Khoiroh, a Statistics student at Universitas Terbuka. 🧕🏻 

Nanda—that’s what she’s called, in a wheelchair and with her dad by her side, caught up with his fellow Bangkit alums at the event. Her physical condition didn't stop her from pushing forward, and that was clear when she was studying in Bangkit 2023 Batch 1. 👩🏻‍🦽 

Coming from Lumajang, East Java, Nanda is one of the Bangkit 2023 Batch 1 Distinction Graduates and a certified TensorFlow Developer. Her great effort in learning yielded satisfactory results when she became a Research & Development Assistant at Braincore.id. ✨

We believe that your dedication would significantly contribute to the future of Indonesia’s technology through the breakthroughs uncovered by your students. Let’s foster Nanda’s spirit in progressing as she said below:

“My physical condition is not a barrier to my ambition. Therefore, I'm determined to always focus on my process because I believe that the result never betrays the process.”
