I grew up in Fresno and never ever wanted to leave California, but as soon as I stepped foot on the SMU campus, I absolutely loved it.

Read MoreI have always been very interested in technology and social media (with so many new advancements, it’s amazing to see these new platforms expand!). Growing up, I remember sitting with my aunt at her computer and watching her code websites - where she completely changed the entire look of something.
