Jessica Cruz
Aspiring Software Engineer / Administration AssistantRMIT University / Country Road GroupBiography
I am studying the Bachelor of Software Engineering at RMIT University. Because I am still at the commencement of my degree, I am still exploring the different areas of IT I am mostly passionate about. I am currently interested in opportunities that will allow me to apply the skills I learn in the classroom to real scenarios.
I have had an opportunity to develop a number of skills from my experiences in working in hospitality, customer service, and administrative roles. These experiences have allowed me to develop my communication, time-management and organisational skills. I work hard in everything that I do, I am always proud of my work and I am passionate about leaving a positive impact. I am determined to make every role my own, and have learnt to be comfortable with adapting to different social situations, management styles and work environments.
In my spare time, I manage my brother-in-law’s shop’s social media and even had the opportunity to create the logo, signage and menu. I am also currently teaching myself web development and Android/iOS development skills.
I love meeting new people, so I enjoy attending conferences and events where I can meet like-minded individuals and learn from their different experiences. I am particularly interested in hearing about different startups and learning about how ideas are transformed.
I am most comfortable with programming in Java, but I have experience in other languages. Although, web development is still new to me, I have quickly developed a liking for CSS and HTML. I am hoping to further develop my other web development skills.
I am seeking opportunities that will foster my education – particularly opportunities that will allow me to work and study at the same time. In the second half of 2017, I am hoping to commence a 12 month full-time Industry Based Learning opportunity as part of my degree.
Should you wish to get in touch with me, please do not hesitate to send me a message and/or connect with me.
