Liza Gebre
Local Coordinator, Greenheart International

Joined: Oct 23rd, 2018
About   (request update)
I am a computer engineer and IT professional with expertise in project and program management, data analysis, technical support and experience spanning multiple industries including education, healthcare, IT services, and the nonprofit sector. During my undergraduate studies, I was actively involved in professional organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society of Women Engineers, and the Association for Computing Machinery. In graduate school, I continued my engagement with NSBE, the Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA), and various multicultural and outreach programs, further enriching my professional journey through impactful internships and leadership roles.
Current Whereabouts:
Currently, I'm focused on exploring emerging technologies, particularly AI and machine learning, and how they can be applied to solve complex business challenges. I’m also working on developing my leadership skills by taking on roles that allow me to mentor and guide teams through strategic, tech-driven initiatives. Additionally, I’m passionate about staying involved in diversity and inclusion efforts within the tech community, participating in programs that foster collaboration and growth for underrepresented groups in STEM. I'm continually learning and aiming to make an impact through innovative solutions and team development.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
My professional aspirations are rooted in my desire to contribute to technological advancement and social impact. I am driven by a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and creating efficient, sustainable solutions that positively affect communities. I aim to grow as a leader in my field, continuously improving my technical expertise while fostering diverse, inclusive environments. Long-term, I aspire to take on leadership roles that enable me to mentor others, lead groundbreaking projects, and drive change, particularly in underrepresented sectors, bridging technology with social good.
