What are your career aspirations and goals?
My career aspiration is to become a Software Engineer. I aspire to major in Computer Science. Some of my goals include build out my portfolio website and launching a STEM blog site. I love mentoring and helping others online. I spend hours researching volunteer opportunities, internships, and webinars to join in and listen to tech leaders.
What was the most important skill you learned during your time at AOT?
The most important skill I learned during my time as a student at AOT is to be collaborative. When starting our final mock client project for TECH360, I realized that I would be working with someone I didn't know personally. My partner and I worked tirelessly on our project and spent hours fixing our code and trying to make it the best website. We had to come up with dates and hours in which we would both be working on the project at the same time. Discord was the easiest app to communicate on and helped us all big time. Collaborating is an essential skill everyone should learn and become proficient with because it allows you to work on projects more efficiently and be organized.
What is a fun fact you would want the AOT Alumni community to know about you? I started a STEM blog site called Gen Z Tech Media, I welcome you to visit at www.genztechmedia.wordpress.com.
