I am currently entering my third year of computer science and have a strong passion for innovation and design. I initially attended Western University for Nursing, though my curious mind pushed me to tap in the world of computer science and take a basic programming course in the summer. Fascinated by my creations and new skills, it was then I decided to change majors and pursue a career in computer science. Since switching career paths, I’ve had a never-ending desire to learn more skills and get involved with any project or opportunity.
Aside from the skills I have gained, I have also realized the flexibility computer science offers in the balance of my personal and work life. I had transitioned into computer science in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and was fully online for the first year and a half of my program. I found that I thrived in this setting as it gave me the flexibility to learn my lectures at my own time and plan my work accordingly. Seeing as I was able to work independently and efficiently, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel throughout the time my school was remote! And yes, still maintained a 3.8 GPA!
