Bio

It's not every day you see a dancing software engineer. I am a great candidate for scholarships not just because of my grades, love for dance, and community involvement, but I will use the money to further my education in the Computer Science field through software engineering, machine learning, and mastering artificial intelligence. I will be able to learn new skills in college with the help of scholarships and develop skills to create applications to help sustain the environment, which in turn, will positively affect my community. I am already shadowing a software engineer, computer-aided design lead of a robotics team, and board member of an engineering club at school. I am creating small coding and 3D modeling projects with my newfound skills, but having more financial help will increase my chances of reaching a broader audience by pursuing a higher education in college and maintaining my hobbies with dance.
