Houa Der Yang

I am the oldest and the first to attend college in my family. Growing up, I was always intrigued about everything related towards technology especially computers. Everyone was always relying on me to fix their devices such as laptops and cell phones. Having these experiences, I am determined to learn everything and anything that I can as I pursue my Information Technology major with the support of my family. College is a big challenge as I was willing to learn new things that can help me better myself as individual. I took on leadership roles within student organizations such as the Southeast Asian Organization and Chi Sigma Tau National Fraternity, Inc. I am a determined learner as I was willing to step out of my comfort zone to learn the necessary skills that I know I will need within my career. With this in mind, I love self teaching myself especially when I was growing up. I am a motivated learner who is willing to do whatever it takes to better myself that will help me in my career as an Information Technologist. I am willing to self teach myself and will continue to do so. Below I will list what my specialties are throughout my experience growing up. Specialties: Microsoft Office, Computer Programming (C#, C++), Fluent in English, Fluent in Hmong, Rebooting computers, Replacing hardware, Photography, Filmography, Drawing, Building a Computer, Google Drive, Apple Products, Android Products, and Mentor. These are some of my specialties that I am proud of. I encourage employers to take this into consideration and I willing to learn what I do not know.
