“My name, Nadia, means hope, which is exactly what my family holds for my academic pursuits. I come from a family of immigrants who never had the opportunity to pursue higher education. Because of this, it has become my mission to be the first in my family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
I am ambitious and goal-oriented, with big plans for my future. With my degree in informatics, I aim to use my skills to support the community around me whether that be through a nonprofit organization or even creating something bigger than myself. Career-wise, I can see myself working in UX/UI design for such organizations or becoming a data scientist to analyze any data that could benefit the people around me. Being a Star Scholar will not only benefit me financially, but will also help me bring these dreams to life. With a supported education, I know I will flourish.“
