Hi, I’m Teresa Luz Miller. I’m a freshman and research assistant at Montclair State University majoring in Computer Science with a plan to major in Business. Currently, I’m a Program Developer for ProjectCSGIRLS — a national middle school Computer Science competition for girls, with workshops around the country. As well as an organizer for CodeDay NY, a nation-wide event where student programmers, artists, musicians, actors, and everyone else can get together and build apps & games for 24 hours. I’m also a Girls Who Code alumni/ambassador and NCWIT State Award Winner and National Runner-up. A fun fact about myself: quiz me about a meme and I will undoubtedly know it.
