Meet Zadie Moon

When Zadie Moon took an Intro to Computer Science class in her junior year, it was the first time she’d ever felt excited about her homework. Now pursuing her master’s through the Align program, she says support from her professors has helped her feel at home in her new field.

Entering into CS when you don’t have a CS background can be really challenging. Luckily the professors here have been super supportive and understanding that a lot of us come from different backgrounds and don’t have knowledge in the concepts that we’re learning. They present them in a way that’s super understandable and they work with you when you don’t know what to do
