People who have impacted how I see the 🌍

My parentsMy grandmaMy husbandMy in-lawsMy professorsMy haters 😎

My parents, grandma, husband, and professors have all supported me and helped me believe that I can make a difference and get the most out of my life.  My in-laws and the haters (what’s the difference tho, amirite??) taught me that I am more than what others think of me and that in spite of the ugly in the world, I can still live a prosperous life.

I led a group of 9 in my senior design class.  I was able to grow my initial idea from the ground up, learn new programming languages and frameworks, build and deploy our application, delegate and support my teammates, while contributing my own lines of code to the product.  It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything!

I am obsessed with planning and organizing!  I have spent many hours myself and helping others plan their semesters in college.  I’ve also given much advice regarding interacting with teachers, recruiters, and other students.

I really admire teammates who are…

Respectful and supportive of each other, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

This is important to me because I want to work others who care about their teammates and are willing to admit when they need help (because I’m not afraid to do so!) :)
