academic credentials

at a glance

I recently graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's degree from DePauw University, where I majored in Computer Science and minored in Economics. I also studied abroad at the University of Oxford, where I took concentrated courses in International Economics and Creative Writing. My strong suits in computer science are mobile and web development, and my strength in Economics lies in development economics, often with an international perspective. My future academic goal is to either pursue a Master's degree in Software Engineering or Human Computer Interaction, or a tech-oriented MBA.
