“I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
A little about myself: My name is Jennifer Rethi, and I’m a Sophomore majoring in computer science at the University of Texas at Austin. I grew up in a small suburban town outside of Austin, Texas and entered college with little programming experience. Since then I have learned that I have a passion for learning new technology and bringing my ideas to life! In my free time I enjoy reading novels, petting cats and writing for my blog. I also spend a lot of my time organizing and coordinating events for the mentor program apart of Women in Computer Science at UT. I love being an Officer of WiCS and getting more women involved in the computer science community!
