Computer Science
With my algorithm and software development work, I’m able to bring real-life experience in a very exciting technical field to the classroom. This engages and motivates my students, letting them know that if they work hard, there are fun and lucrative careers waiting them upon graduation.

Understanding the Role of Culture
A visit to a Thai Buddhist temple as part of the Immigration in a Global Age course helped students to understand how local Thai culture thrives and connects with the society around it.
I learned about many of the struggles Thai immigrants are faced with as well as how strong they maintain their ethnic identities through their annual Thai festival, which I also attended. It was a beautiful experience that I will never forget.

Undecided
I took two full semesters before declaring, and I am still on track to graduate in four years with a double major. It is totally manageable and possible! It helps that Cal Lutheran has so many class options and is not overly impacted like some programs at other schools.
