Dreaming, Belonging, Thriving: Riya Golani男女操逼视频软件檚 Tech Journey
At 男女操逼视频软件, Go-Getters don男女操逼视频软件檛 just learn男女操逼视频软件攖hey lead. And Riya Golani (MS in Computer Science 男女操逼视频软件25) is no exception. As a master男女操逼视频软件檚 student at the Seidenberg School, she男女操逼视频软件檚 turning challenges into milestones, passion into purpose, and a dream of NYC into a career at Amazon.
From a Dream to a Decision
男女操逼视频软件淣ew York City was always a far-fetched dream for me男女操逼视频软件擨 never thought it would actually be possible,男女操逼视频软件 Riya recalls. But a desire for growth and a feeling of stagnation at her former job sparked a realization: she needed to upskill, and NYC became the symbol of that next step. 男女操逼视频软件淚 wanted a place where I could grow, learn, and push myself further.男女操逼视频软件
During her search for schools with strong computer science programs, Pace stood out. 男女操逼视频软件淚 chose Pace without hesitation. It wasn男女操逼视频软件檛 just about NYC anymore男女操逼视频软件攊t was about the experience and education that would truly be worth something,男女操逼视频软件 she says. Seidenberg男女操逼视频软件檚 wide range of electives and flexible curriculum sealed the deal.
That flexibility made me feel comfortable, like I belonged. It was the right decision then, and looking back now, I know it was one of the best decisions I男女操逼视频软件檝e ever made.
A Class That Changed Everything
For Riya, one particular Seidenberg course the trajectory of her technical path: Enterprise Computing with Professor Baik Doosan. 男女操逼视频软件淏efore that, I struggled to grasp even the most basic concepts like APIs or Git. But Professor Baik didn男女操逼视频软件檛 just teach男女操逼视频软件攈e immersed us in real-world applications, pouring his industry experiences into every lecture.男女操逼视频软件
Guided by his mentorship, Riya男女操逼视频软件檚 class tackled an event exploration project, one that challenged and empowered her. 男女操逼视频软件淭his was my first full MERN stack project男女操逼视频软件攂efore that, I had only worked on backend solutions. That class gave me the confidence to start developing my own MERN stack projects, and it completely changed the direction of my technical journey.男女操逼视频软件
Professor Baik didn男女操逼视频软件檛 just stay in the classroom. He became a mentor beyond it男女操逼视频软件攕upporting Riya through her job search, interview prep, and career decisions.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
From the Data Science Club and the Google Developer Group to Women in Tech and the Art Club, Riya also dove into the University男女操逼视频软件檚 extracurricular scene with enthusiasm.
Pace has an incredibly inclusive culture, and that has allowed me to explore so much beyond just academics.
One major milestone? Representing the Pace AI Lab at the Grace Hopper Celebration. 男女操逼视频软件淭hat experience gave me a huge confidence boost and taught me the invaluable skill of networking and expressing my work effectively.男女操逼视频软件
She also played a big role in organizing community and cultural events, including the Diwali Celebration and various tech talks. 男女操逼视频软件淲hat男女操逼视频软件檚 special about Seidenberg is the accessibility of the faculty and administration. Dean Chen is always reachable男女操逼视频软件擨 can literally walk up to her, and if she has even a few minutes, she男女操逼视频软件檒l make time to listen.男女操逼视频软件
Among all of these extracurricular leadership positions and activities, Riya also had the time to work as a graduate assistant at Seidenberg. 男女操逼视频软件淓ven though I男女操逼视频软件檓 a Computer Science student, I wasn男女操逼视频软件檛 limited to just CS work. I had the chance to work on Seidenberg男女操逼视频软件檚 social media, thanks to Pace AI Lab男女操逼视频软件檚 co-director Katie Todd, who believed in my skills and gave me that opportunity.男女操逼视频软件
A Supportive Community Like No Other
When asked to briefly describe her Seidenberg experience, Riya said that there are three things that stand out to her:
Inclusivity 男女操逼视频软件 男女操逼视频软件淪eidenberg welcomes everyone with open arms.男女操逼视频软件
Access to Resources 男女操逼视频软件 男女操逼视频软件淔rom career services to faculty mentorship, support is everywhere.男女操逼视频软件
Immense Support 男女操逼视频软件 男女操逼视频软件淭he people here genuinely care, and that makes all the difference.男女操逼视频软件
From starting as a student assistant at Lubin to now being a graduate assistant at Seidenberg and working in the Pace AI Lab, Riya男女操逼视频软件檚 Pace opportunities have shaped her career. 男女操逼视频软件淪eidenberg is a place that made me feel at home in a new city, in a new phase of life. The professors, administration, and career counselors were always there for me.男女操逼视频软件
Whenever I needed guidance, I just had to ask, and I received so much love and support.
And the result of all Riya男女操逼视频软件檚 incredible determination and experiences? 男女操逼视频软件淚 got into Amazon as an SDE1 before graduating. That wouldn男女操逼视频软件檛 have been possible without Seidenberg. I owe it to this school.男女操逼视频软件
Riya Golani男女操逼视频软件檚 story is more than a student男女操逼视频软件檚 journey男女操逼视频软件攊t embodies the spirit of Pace: opportunity, empowerment, transformation, and most importantly, a community that truly cares.
