What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and mentorship.

As a recent graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science from Illinois College, I am a focused and driven individual eager to apply my skills in a full-time position. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my inclusion on the Dean's List and a GPA of 3.35. I have a strong foundation in various programming languages and concepts, including C#, HTML, and data structures, which I have applied in practical projects.

My experience includes designing a responsive website for the GirlsWhoCode Leadership Academy, where I created a platform to assist college-aged students in navigating critical information about domestic violence and sexual assault. Additionally, I have developed a Slot Machine Simulator and implemented data filtering algorithms, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with technical skills. I thrive in collaborative environments and am motivated to learn from mentors while contributing to team success.
