Fox Alumni Career Chat (Virtual Zoom) with Nhi Nyugen
As a senior student attending the virtual Zoom webinar sponsored by Pamela Lyman, I had the privilege of gaining insights from Fox alumna Nhi Nguyen. During the event, Nhi, a 2020 graduate, shared her expertise as a Sprint Lead – Software Engineer in Accessibility at Walmart Global Tech. The discussion delved into her technical skills, encompassing Accessibility auditing, testing, UX design training, and strategic planning. Through this engaging session, I learned about the practical application of these skills in the professional landscape and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of inclusive design and digital accessibility.
This activity directly related to my Management Information Systems coursework, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and its real-world application. Nhi’s experiences provided a tangible connection to the concepts studied in class, offering a valuable perspective on how these skills are utilized in a professional setting. As I aspire to pursue a career in Management Information Systems, this webinar served as a catalyst for aligning my academic pursuits with the practical demands of the industry. Nhi’s advice and the nuanced discussion of her career journey were particularly enlightening, contributing to my overall growth as a senior MIS student.
