Who is Karen Kazi?

San Francisco-based Qazi will soon graduate from the Santa Clara University (SCU) School of Engineering, setting another record as the youngest graduate from the prestigious institution. Qazi’s journey to success began at a young age when he enrolled at the Las Positas Community College at the age of 9. Amazingly, he was a STEM tutor in his college. His pursuit of knowledge enabled him to pursue college-level courses at a time when his peers were still in elementary school. “I went from third-grade rebel to feeling really intellectually validated,” Kazee said.

Qazi is also grateful to his mentors, including SCU and Intel, who gave him the wonderful opportunity to look beyond his age. ‘I am forever grateful that you recognized my value, trusted my abilities and invested in my development. I am excited to take these cultural lessons into my career.
