Hi there! My name is Samantha Chavez, a student pursuing my 2nd Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I am a post-baccalaureate student highly driven to discover career opportunities in software engineering and/or development, and pride myself on my ability to quickly learn and adapt to the unique challenges presented in coding, with a particular preference towards programming in C++, Python, and Ruby.I have a prior background in Journalism and Mexican American/Latino Studies that has enabled me to become both an effective team member and leader that seeks to eliminate injustice and promote equitable opportunity learning for all. I wear my Hispanic heritage on my shoulder and do not shy away from the values instilled in me that drive me to help out as many people on my journey as possible.I am happy to connect with others who share my beliefs and desire to learn more about computer programming, tech industry developments, and AI implementation in business!
