Q: What is your favorite food? Do you have a favorite restaurant and what is it if you do?
A: I love Italian food, so I like Carrabba's Italian Grill. Wait, no...I love Caribbean food. Can I pick two? There's this great Caribbean restaurant in Manhattan called Negril. It's fantastic.
Q: How did you become interested in computer science?
A: I began my college career as a business major. I became a computer science student a year later after being assigned to a work-study in the computer science department in college. I had no interest and very little expertise in the field. I must have done a pretty good job, because my boss-turned-undergraduate advisor encouraged me to consider CS and told me there would be many opportunities for computer scientists. Well, it didn't take much convincing, and years later, here I am working on my Ph.D.
Q:. You have interned at IBM for two summers, and this summer is your
third. Where have you traveled? Where was your favorite place and why?
A: I've done quite a bit of traveling in my lifetime, but not nearly as much as I plan. I've been all over the US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. My absolute favorite trip, though, was to Europe with some of my most cherished friends. (You know who you are!)
Q: What is Blacksburg like compared to where you are now in California?
A: I'm in San Jose, so Blacksburg is quite different. There's no humidity, and as a matter of fact, the sun shines everyday (no rain in sight). It's a little chilly at night, though. When I'd left Blacksburg, it hadn't really gotten 'hot' (85 degrees or higher). I admit, though, that I miss the heat. I?ll give it time.
Q: What has been your favorite class that you?ve taken during your college career? Why?
A: Interestingly enough, my favorite class during my college career was a public speaking course. I learned an extraordinary amount in that class, and the skills I developed in that class are helping me today.
Q: What is your dream job?
A: College dean/motivational speaker/choreographer. Okay, so I want to accomplish a lot in my lifetime.
