Hey there,<\/p>\n

My name is Jobina and I am a 5th<\/sup>year student in a combined major in computer science and biology. Like most students, I came into university wanting to pursue something completely different. I have always been interested in biology but was not sure what a career in biology would look like. In my first year, I was enrolled in the Faculty of Arts to pursue psychology, but took biology classes as electives since this is what I was really interested in. After being unsatisfied with my first year, I decided to switch to the Faculty of Science to pursue biology. Somewhere in between switching to the faculty of science and choosing my major, I took my first computer science class. With absolutely no experience with computers, I took on the challenge to learn and I ended up loving the course. After this, I chose to study both biology and computer science because I felt passionate about both subjects. Throughout my degree I have learned so much about software and biology, but I think that I am more interested in working with software. During my time at university I have had two software engineering internships which I have really loved and would like to continue working in.<\/p>\n

My end goal is to work at a company where I can apply my computer skills to a biological issue such as building an app to monitor the conditions of a greenhouse. I hope to use both of my areas of knowledge in my future career. In the short term, I am focusing on developing the software skills that I need to work at a technological company. I am hoping that this will serve as a stepping stone to being able to apply my knowledge to biological situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
