Current Program & Previous Experience
Hello fellow Huskies! I am currently in my final year of the CS Align program, making strides to bridge my business background with the dynamic realm of technology. In my journey, I have had the privilege of interning with industry giants such as SAP, where I honed my skills as a full-stack developer, and Nokia, where I delved into the intricacies of backend development. The prospect of making a meaningful impact in the technical field has fueled my passion, and I am eagerly seeking both a return offer and exciting full-time opportunities. I am excited about the prospect of leveraging my unique background to guide and assist fellow students in their career journeys as a Career Peer Advisor.
What aspects of being a CPA excite you?
I am particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to guide students in their pursuit of internships and full-time jobs. Having been in their shoes, I empathize with the challenges they may face and the importance of having a supportive guide during this critical phase. I vividly recall the invaluable assistance I received from peer advisors, colleagues, and classmates, and I am eager to pay it forward
How I can help
Especially for international students under an F-1 visa, I can provide guidance on structuring and tailoring your resume to effectively showcase your skills and experiences. I can also help you explore different career paths and personalized study plan within the tech industry based on your interests and skills. I will assist in identifying potential internship opportunities and provide resources and tips for preparing for technical or nontechnical mock interviews.
Additional thoughts/words of encouragement
Finding jobs is challenging. Sometimes all you can do is to keep going and never give up. If you have applied for numerous positions without hearing back or encountered obstacles in the interview process, remember that your worth is not determined by these moments. Rejections and setbacks are part of the process, but each one brings you closer to success. I am with you.
