The Division of Advanced Technology program helped me achieve my dreams of becoming a mathematician and programmer ready for the real world. SU provided me with opportunities such as interning at NASA that prepared me for this career. Shortly after graduation, I began my STEM career at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory as a mathematician and engineer.
