Hi! My name is Yulisa Medrano, and I am currently a junior here majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Human-Centered Computing and minoring in Design Thinking. I love to read, cook, travel, workout and try out new hobbies

Organization Officer

Hello! My name is Briana Ochoa-Espinosa, and I’m currently a senior majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places. I first got involved with ColorStack after hearing about it from friends at other universities who are also Computer Science majors and active members of the community

Social Media/Marketing Manager

Hi! I'm Jocelyn, and I am currently a senior computer science student with a general concentration. I really like computer science because there are so many different pathways for post-grad. When I'm not studying, I typically spend my time reading novels, painting, or playing the Legend of Zelda. I am very excited to meet new people as we navigate new opportunities and entering the tech industry - together!

Secretary

Hi, I’m Valeri Onate and I am a student here at CSU studying Data Science with a concentration in Computer Science. In my free time I like to eat out and watch movies, usually at the same time. Thanks to ColorStack, I feel a lot more engaged into the career I will be going to and confident I will be doing something with my degree.
