Hi All,
I didn’t go for my degree right after high school. When I was 23 years old, I started at Northern Essex Community College and later transferred to Merrimack College. I graduated in July of 2005 (when I was 31 years old) with a BS in Electrical Engineering and a Computer Science concentration. Although there were 4 girls out of 30 students in the program when I started, I was the only girl to graduate in 2005. (I should mention that all of the girls graduated with EE degrees). I work for Polycom, which is the company I did my first Coop with. I’ve been working at Polycom for 9 years now in the SQA department. People often ask me why I don’t transfer to development. My answer is that I get bored very easily and QA is very diverse.
Hello to all, and thank you for starting nerd girls!
