About Madison:
I am a 3rd year Computer Science major. I also TA for CS 2150 and CS 4102. I am also the new President for WiCS (Women in Computing Sciences which is also known as ACM-W). Additionally, every year I help out with middle and high school visitation for SWE (Society of Women Engineers). I really enjoy teaching CS skills to younger students and am very passionate about bridging the gender gap in technology careers. I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't gotten involved with the CS department and CS organizations here at UVA. I definitely wouldn't have gotten the internship of my dreams last summer at Microsoft. I'm very grateful that UVA and the CS department has given me a platform to pursue my dreams and passions. Also, some fun facts about me are that I have a twin who is basically my opposite, and my first time seeing snow was here at UVA!
What has kept Madison motivated:
I have been staying motivated by my drive to learn new things, learning to cook new recipes, and looking forward to the project that I will be working on this summer during my virtual internship!
