I have always been a big problem solver-especially in the world of programming. I often find myself wading through a pool of countless numbers and characters that mean absolutely nothing to an outsider, yet so much to the swimmer, to look for a single problem. I am a person who welcomes any challenge and the exhilarating sensation of overcoming these challenges is the very fuel that drives my dedication.

My fascination with the evolution of human technology has drawn me deeper into the world of software. As one of the few women interested in computer science, I want to step beyond the border of this current trend and submerge myself into this vast field that is applicable in so many areas, ranging from the typical ones such as communications and entertainment to ones often unknown such as art, fashion, law, and sports. Most importantly, I feel that computer science is my path towards a brighter future, because to me, success is waking up every day to do what I love most.

The world is quickly advancing in the field of technology and in every second of time, there is always a new idea or invention created. We simply do not realize the intricate and complex details that make up the very existence of our every day technology, such as our phones and laptops. We often take for granted the ingenious minds that have made our world so advanced. Yet, as advanced as it is now, there is still much more undiscovered potential looming about in hopes of discovery. I aspire to be a discoverer of this potential and become part of a world-wide team that works to further develop our ever-growing society. It is my dream to work amidst the reigning geniuses that evolve the world into what it is today.
