Elizabeth Hagearty

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER // PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a 4th year at the University of California, Berkeley from Cohasset, Massachusetts. I majoring in Computer Science, with a Gender Women's Studies minor. The combination of these two disciplines has made me very passionate about the field of computer science and the importance of computing education.

Working as a portrait and event photographer I have lengthy experience with photography, photoshop and graphic design. Having this creative outlet has influenced my academic career through furthering my passion for building and creating.

I am looking for a career where I will expand my love for computer science while utilizing my creativity and programming experience.
