Major: BS Computer Science
Year: Junior
Hometown: Middletown, Delaware
I chose this major because... I really enjoy programming and getting to learn how things work through code. I was first introduced to Computer Science through a web page design class in high school and I had so much fun writing HTML and seeing the actual results of what I was writing. From there I took more programming classes and enjoyed it even more.
Favorite Course(s): CS 164 - Intro to Computer Science
Clubs/Extracurricular Activities: Alpha Omega Epsilon Sorority, Women in Computing Society, Drexel Track Club
Co-ops I've done: Software Engineer at Lockheed Martin; Software Engineer at Woodward McCoach; Embedded Software Engineer at FORT Robotics
Favorite thing/place at Drexel: Drexel Park
When I'm not at Drexel, I'm... Spending time with friends and family, running, going to concerts, or exploring the city.
When you are in Philadelphia, I think you should... Walk to center city or along the Schuylkill River Trail!
Advice to new/incoming CCI students: Don't be afraid to branch out and meet new people through clubs, classes, or just on campus. It's a great time to make friends and learn about your new community.
What is your dream job? Anywhere I get to be a software engineer and do work that I find interesting and that I enjoy.
Favorite animated character: Gru
Bio
I'm a Junior studying Computer Science here at Drexel. I enjoy programming and getting to learn about how technology works and is applied in the real world. I've completed two co-ops so far and am currently on my third working as a software engineer. Outside of school I love running, going to concerts, exploring the city of Philadelphia, or traveling.
