Texas State University at San Marcos
Graduate, B.S., Computer Science

This past year, I had the incredible opportunity to represent Texas State University's Computer Science Department at the ABET Annual Conference — the first time ABET held a student panel. I was thrilled to be the voice of both my department and my university. I think it is highly beneficial to bring in the students ABET represents to provide feedback on their experiences and to share ways the program can be improved to provide the best programs for both future and current students.

Right now, I am starting my career at USAA, a company that seeks to be the provider of choice for the financial needs of the military community and their families. In the future, I hope to pursue my master's degree in computer science.
