The mission and value of Level Access, which is to create accessible digital platforms for everyone, really aligns with my own value and purpose.

What MIS courses and experiences helped me to get this job?
The coding knowledge from MIS 2402 and MIS 3503 has been my great advantage of getting this position. The practical projects that I did in MIS 3503 helped me understand the coding concept in a wholistic view, combining the expectation from the client-browser side and the functionality from the back-end server and database side. In addition, being the Director of Information Technology for Temple AIS really boosted my technical skills through the various technical development workshops!
