In high school, I took a hardware-based course where we had to build our own computer. I loved that course so much that I knew I wanted to pursue a technology route in undergrad. I went to college for Computer and Information Systems at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I loved all the aspects of technology – the challenge, the creative piece (something many people don’t talk about in tech), and that the sky is the limit when working with technology.
What led you to Fidelity?
I attended a career fair at my college. Being one of the best Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) in the country, we were fortunate to be constantly surrounded by tech companies on campus. I remember how the Fidelity recruiters made me feel seen and that my skill set was truly desired.
I completed two summer internships with Fidelity and then joined the “Fidelity LEAP” program after graduation. The LEAP program is a learner-centered career development program for students with a technical education. I made so many great connections during this experience, it only reinforced my decision to continue my career path in technology at Fidelity.
