Meet the Expert
Jorrell Salazar
Jorrell is currently studying Computer Science at the University of Regina. She has been involved in the world of technology ever since she was a child, akin to a sponge, soaking in the wondrous field of computer science. Jorrell has been involved in many different technical clubs and extracurriculars in her spare time, such as being the Founder and President of the UofR’s Women in STEM Club (URWSC), the Assistant Officer of the UofR’s Computer Science Students’ Society (CSSS), and the Vice Lead of the UofR’s Google Developer Group (URGDG). She is currently the Community Administrator for the Computer Science Girlies, a community founded by Michelle Lawson. In her spare time, she enjoys playing computer games!
This programming was developed by Mikaela Moore, Sydney Brooks, and Jorrell Salazar.
