Diana Hrisovescu

Diana and Shay are using their fellowship grant to develop Script. Script aims to enable a greater number of individuals to access social welfare resources and entitlements. It will help immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and minority groups access government support digitally, on a user-friendly platform, and in their native language.

Diana moved to Ireland from Romania aged 14. She learned English in only three months to help her brother access medical support.

Diana taught herself web development by building websites from the ground up and has taught children aged 7-18 how to code via the CoderDojo community. She is also a member of Teen-Turn, an organization aiming to provide teen girls with hands-on STEM experience.

She now attends Trinity College Dublin, where she studies Computer Science with Business.
