Hey everyone!
My name is Alexis Collins, and six months ago I made the move from Newport to Oregon City for a technical internship with Portland General Electric, which wrapped up back in mid-September. While I don’t have kids, my boyfriend, sister, her boyfriend, and I have become co-parents to a rescue bearded dragon we found outside our house about two months ago. She’s quickly become a beloved part of our little fam. :’)
A few things I love to do in my spare time include making music (I sing and play guitar), playing chess, hiking, and binge-watching movies and shows. I’m always on the lookout for new recommendations, so if you have any good ones, send them my way!
What drew me to pursue a degree in Computer Science was its flexibility and how the field is constantly evolving. I’m fascinated by the range of possibilities within tech, and I also love the idea of remote work being the norm (although I know the industry is leaning back toward in-person). One project that really caught my eye is the “Engineering Simulations with Game Development Tools” project. I’ve always wanted to learn more about game development and think this would be an amazing opportunity to expand my knowledge.
I’m really looking forward to the next few terms and getting to work on some exciting projects with all of you!
