Ever since I was little, I loved coertumps! Since I have always loved math and logic, computer science just seemed right for me. I haven't ever had anything that I especially loved, but since getting involved with computer science, I think I made the right choice. Plus, I'm ready to show everyone that it's okay for girls to like computer science and not be a geek!
