Major

Computer Science (B.S. in CS)

Minor

Software Development, Computer Systems

Career Goals

My main goal at the moment is to get admitted into graduate school, where I hope to get hired as a graduate assistant who will work alongside my Computer Science professors while at the same time helping younger Computer Science students grow and learn the complexity of computing, shaping them into successful future computer scientists. After achieving my M.S., I eventually want to earn a professional degree in Computer Science and afterward lead a team of system analysts, programmers, and other computer scientists in research, like improving cybersecurity and the development of new technologies.

S-STEM Program Benefits

The S-STEM program has been a blessing and a huge aid to my educational success. As a student coming from a low-income background, I was working full time while attending school full time to fund my education, and it was over exhausting and overwhelming. With the financial assistance from S-STEM, I no longer have to worry about how my tuition will get paid and I can afford supplementary study resources to ensure I am successful in all my studies.

Not only that, but the S-STEM program has given me new opportunities. I have already met so many other students and faculty from the Computer Science department, receiving professional development from my independent study class, and I also get the opportunity to attend the GMiS conference, where I can hopefully find prospective employers!
