I have loved the time I spent at Marywood! I double majored in Computer Science and Information Security with a minor in Mathematics. I was also heavily involved socially on campus, being the SGA President for two consecutive years, the Vice President of Alpha Sigma Psi, holding various positions in the Integrated Mathematics and Computer Science club, being an admissions ambassador, and a tutor at the math center. I learned a lot within my field during my four years, and that along with all the leadership experience I gained, prepared me to find a job within my field! I had multiple job offers several months before graduation, and I'm excited to stay in the area!
