👋 Hey there! I'm Justice Jackson. I am First Generation (American & College Attendee) Low Income (FGLI) student currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at Virginia Tech. By day, I'm immersed in the world of coding and innovation and the intersection of how decisions made in the tech sphere effect society and vice versa, and by the night (more like early evening), I'm a dedicated advocate of political involvement on campus, professional development of FGLI students, founder of the Data Structures and Algorithims club and leader of two more, and a racket sport fanatic.👩🏻‍💻 I discovered my passion for technology when I first played Minecraft at age 10. I discovered coding in my freshman year and since then I have chased that passion since then with the help of programs like Bloomberg Accelerator, Meta Above and Beyond Computer Science, Citi EarlyID, and Ebay Pathways, and Capital One Software Engineering Summit.✨ Now I pursue my passion for both people and technology and hoping to interweive my passions for both the social and hard sciences. My latest role has allowed me to learn and practice my technical skills as a software developer, while my roles on campus have fuffilled me by empowering my community to do amazing things. What I've found is that I love being the bridge between people and the technology that they use. With that self-knowledge, my mission in life is to make people's lives a little easier or a little better by leveraging advancing technology.🛠 What I'm Working on Right Now:🎯 Building communities for FGLI (First Generation - Low Income) students to break into Computer Science at my university🎯 Bringing people traditionally left out of conversations involving policy and social change into the spotlight🎯 Creating systems that will outlast my time at Virginia Tech to benefit the students that come after me📫 Fun Facts🌎 I'm a former Guiness World Record holder (read more here: https://tinyurl.com/hhvrvsxe)🏓 I love all sports, but my recent faves have been bouldering, tennis, table tennis, and pickleball!
