Hi, my name is Shelby, and I am from St. Louis, but I currently live in St. Charles, MO.

picture of me on my way to march madness!

At SIUE, I am involved in many activities. I am a CODES Scholar, Resident Assistant, a musician in the E Band, part of the Society of Women Engineers, and the National Society of Black Engineers. My goal here is to get involved on campus as much as possible to fully utilize my time at this university.

My major is Computer Science with a minor in Music. Once I graduate, I hope to get a job in software development or producing music for video games.

Revisit your bio at the end of every semester to consider how your plans have shifted.

This is a good bio example from Monami, a student at Laguardia Community College.
