After a long semester balancing my internship, classes, and several leadership positions, I am excited to announce that I will be joining Publicis Sapient this coming summer as a Junior Associate Software Developer Engineer in Arlington, VA. Words cannot explain how grateful I am for this opportunity. I had a lot of doubt coming into college and did not think I was capable of becoming a STEM major. The STEM Scholars Program at Gettysburg College gave me the confidence to major in Computer Science by making me realize I am not the only first-gen student tackling this challenge. I want to thank Kelcie LaBella for all the work that she did and for helping me get a deeper understanding of the company. I also want to thank my friends, family, professors, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) and anyone that has supported me along the way. I want to thank Techqueria for being a great resource for young LatinX professionals like myself as well. Si se puede! :)
