What I plan to do after graduation: I am currently interested in learning more about Artificial Intelligence and pursuing a career in that field of Computer Science. I am also minoring in Business Administration and hope to eventually go into technical project management.
Why I Love Computer Science: I chose to pursue a degree in computer science because of how thought provoking, creative, and challenging it is. I was first introduced to JavaScript in high school to create a small video game and have loved the idea of coding ever since. It is really intriguing how just a few lines of code can instantly create a whole program whether it's a game or a solution to a societal problem. I think Computer Science gives me a space to foster my creativity, is very versatile, and allows for the exploration of many different domains like security, artificial intelligence, etc. which excites me. Additionally, Computer Science on a broader perspective is always changing and heavily impacts our world through constant innovation that I would like to be a part of.
