I'm a freshman Computer Science student, so I've only started with introductory courses for the fall and spring semesters. I've been able to work on simple programming tasks all the way up to implementing functionality in a chat system. Previously, I took coursework in AP Computer Science during my senior year of high school. Next fall I plan to take a Data Structures course, which will put me further into the Computer Science major. In my free time I like to revise programs I've previously written in order to make them more efficient. This spring I worked on five projects, one of which is a blackjack game played against a computer.
I work with the Python and Java programming languages, and I'm eager to learn more as I advance through my career. In my first introductory course we worked with simple programming tasks with not much emphasis on design. However, as I move forward with my coursework I find that design and efficiency are two of the most important aspects of coding. It's certainly difficult, but I believe the pay-off is well worth the effort!

I know that the market for girls in gaming is enormous, and I would love to reach out to other Latinas who are considering it to see it also as an occupation!
