I am currently a high school student at Cywoods High School. Before this I lived and studied in Puerto Rico. There, I participated in programs such as CS4Girls (Computer Science for Girls), SWE (Society for Women in Engineering) and AOSA (Arecibo Observatory Space Academy). I have also worked as teacher assistant in AOSA. I am proudly part of the NCWIT community where I have won two awards. In January of 2017 I moved to Houston, Texas where I am currently looking for more opportunities. I am also passionate in the arts and animation which both can be easily linked to computer science. I also have studied the violin for over 11 years. In the future, I would like to major in Computer Science while doing a minor in art. My goal is to become an animation director, to inspire, entertain and teach people through the medium of technology and art.
I recommend that latina girls should go for science and technology because they are careers that have a low percentage of women in them. We need more women because the industry is growing and is going to continue doing so. It is also a community where one can find opportunity and success very easily while being a minority.
