About Alex:
I am a graduating Computer Science and History double major and the Meals on Wheels capstone team that I got to work on this semester was definitely a highlight of my last year at UVA. Throughout my time here, I have been a TA for CS 2110 and CS 4102 for the past two years as well as teaching a student taught class on the intersection of CS and History last fall. Next year I will be starting a PhD program in CS at Virginia Tech and I can't wait to further explore CS education and hopefully teach some classes of my own. In my free time, I have been involved in several different research projects as well with ESC and RodCouncil and a few intramural sports with my friends.
What has kept Alex motivated:
In order to keep myself motivated in this pandemic, I have been focusing on looking forward and making plans for next year. I have reached out to prospective advisors in order to start working on research this summer. I have also been free to spend more time with my family, read a couple new books, and keep in touch with my friends over Zoom.
