Scholar Biography:
I am a senior majoring in construction management. Upon graduation, I will be pursuing a graduate degree in urban planning and policy, focusing on international affairs and global relations. As a first-generation college student with-in a non-traditional field of study, I have overcome and mastered many skill-sets which have molded me into a more enriched person.
Currently, I am the President and co-founder of Females in Technology (FiT) and the Treasurer of the Construction Club; and work in the International Affairs Office and in the Technology Career Advocates Office on campus. The focus of my summer research project will be on the importance of attracting and retaining females to technology majors at the college-level.
