How has the Core Curriculum changed your perspective?

The Core Curriculum opened my eyes to how intricately the world is connected. A small change in one community can have a big impact on another. It has made me more self-aware of how my actions can impact the people around me and the world as a whole.

Have you worked on any particularly rewarding projects?

Every programming project I’ve had since the beginning of my college experience has been rewarding. From the simple projects in Introduction to Programming to my Capstone, they have all been the perfect learning experiences and helped me steadily progress towards my career.

Can you tell us about your internship with The Leahy Center?

I was a programming intern, so I worked with a small team on a web-based project called Digital Signage, which was going to be used as a CMS billboard system. This gave me the opportunity to work on a software development team as well as gain valuable knowledge of web-based projects. This internship led to an opportunity to work at The Leahy Center every semester since, and to grow as a software engineer by working on projects in a professional environment.

How has the Upside-Down Curriculum impacted your education?

I did Cisco Networking for three years in high school and I liked it a lot, so I knew I wanted to continue learning about it. Since I knew what I wanted to do from the start, the Upside-Down Curriculum was very helpful in confirming that the Computer Networking & Cybersecurity program was where I wanted to be.

Are you involved in any extracurricular organizations?

I’ve been an officer in the Womxn in Technology club for the past two years, and an officer in the Cybersecurity Club for a year. I’ve also been in the Digital Forensics Association for two years. I enjoy these clubs because you can come together with your friends and classmates to learn something that you may not discuss in classes.

How has your time at Champlain prepared you for the professional world?

From the InSight curriculum to all my tech classes, I feel prepared to be out in the real world because I’ve been given so many opportunities for success. All of the professors here want to help you succeed in classes and in the rest of your career.
