Hi!

This is one of my favorite things to talk about.

I believe that my education gives me an openness to learn, and more experiences. I actually wrote about this....
Here is the quote from the article: (medium.com/@jhubs/the-other-divers...)

"I am a technical individual with a foundation in the liberal arts and I am proud of that. To build successful products, you need diverse teams, but if your entire team is made up of graduates from X’s computer science program, how diverse is your team actually? They all went through the same classes, and were taught to think the same when it comes to solving problems. Is that really a diverse team?"
