Hi!
My name is Marissa Stephens, and I’m from Tooele, Utah. I’m studying Computer Science with an emphasis in Bioinformatics. I love kayaking, watching movies, and I’m always down for a good dance party! I hadn’t considered studying computer science until I came to college. I’ve always loved math and problem solving, but coding felt very intimidating to me. However, that changed when I met some CS students my freshman year and heard about their experiences. I decided to give it a try. I took CS 110 and was instantly hooked! I discovered how exciting and rewarding CS can be and developed a passion for using tech to solve real-world problems.
I’m excited to support others on their CS journeys. I truly believe that anyone can learn to code, no matter what their background is. This field is for everyone! I love the community that the CS department offers, and I’m always here if you ever need a friend!
