Solida Hoeurn is currently attending Babson College as a member of the Honors Program, where she is majoring in Business Analytics. She serves as the Vice President of the Babson Analytics Association and works at the Babson Career Center as a Data and Operations Assistant, supporting the center’s data, marketing, and communication efforts.

Solida hails from a small village in Tboung Khmum Province, Cambodia. Raised in a family of farmers, Solida is the first in her family to pursue higher education. Her passion for education grew from the hardships she faced and witnessed growing up, and she was determined to excel academically throughout high school. She consistently earned top results and served as both the class monitor and president of her math club. Solida also worked as a tutor, helping her peers across various subjects. After high school, she was offered a full scholarship to the Royal University of Phnom Penh but chose to pursue her studies at Babson College through SHE-CAN.

In addition to her academic achievements, Solida has been involved in numerous community projects. She served as the team coordinator for the Circular Innovation Challenge 2022, where she proposed an app called “Upcycler” to promote sustainability by helping users find value in their unwanted products. She also led the REAN Buddies project, which helps 12th graders in rural areas, who cannot afford extra classes, prepare for the national exam with the support of volunteer tutors. At Babson, Solida joined the Babson Community Action Program and served as an academic mentor to youth in South Sudan.

Solida is also passionate about raising awareness for environmental issues, and currently works as a volunteer social media administrator and content planner for a project called “Beneath the Sea,” which aims to raise awareness about the negative effects of human activity on marine life.

Having experienced both gender and economic discrimination in the education system in Cambodia, Solida is committed to using her interest in technology and entrepreneurship to make a lasting impact. She is focused on utilizing the resources and skills gained at Babson to make technology more accessible in rural Cambodia, particularly for women and students, empowering them to reach their full potential and pursue new opportunities.
