SUNY Buffalo State College
Bachelors of Science, Computer Information System (Minor: Mathematics)
Buffalo, NY
I earned my bachelor of science in Computer Information Systems (CIS), attaining a 3.92 GPA while minoring in mathematics. I also received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence which the highest honor bestowed upon a student by a University. College taught me how to commit to a plan and see it through despite the challenges faced along the way. Getting this Computer Information System degree was one of the toughest I've done so far in life, and the rigor of the program prepared me well to see through real-world problems, however challenging they are.
