During my undergrad education at UW, I discovered a problem of anti-social academia; it was clear that students were having a difficult time finding study buddies during the height of the pandemic. I desperately wanted to solve this problem, so I recruited a team and built a startup called KiwiLink, and we algorithmically matched students with relevant study buddies. Eventually, our KiwiLink study buddy finder app helped 1,500 UW students find study buddies!
