Jiaranai Keatnuxsuo

Jiaranai is an Information Technology graduate from the University of Western Australia who shines brightest when using her skills to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical problems. Technology has become part of everything in the world she knows, and it makes her believe that knowledge from various domains is interconnected and even greater when combined. However, Jia’s background was all about people, not machines; she was involved in a personal development project, helping the young generation in her community realise their potential. With this project, she was nominated for the Western Australia Young Leadership Award in 2018. Jia believes in technology, not because of its coolness but its abilities that could augment ordinary people to become extraordinary.
