鈥淪tay connected,鈥� Sarah Morash advises her peers.

That attitude helps explain how, before graduating from her bachelor鈥檚 degree in Computer Science, Sarah has received interview offers from companies like Google and Amazon.

Sarah finished most of her degree requirements last year and is now working full-time at T4G as a web developer. 鈥淚鈥檓 really liking the projects we鈥檙e working on, so I鈥檓 really happy,鈥� she says.

Sarah has been an exceptional student from the get-go. She was awarded a renewable Seymour Schulich Scholarship, as well as the Dr. Stan Heaps Memorial Scholarship and the Ada Byron Award.

Sarah doesn鈥檛 see being a woman in such a male-dominated field as a drawback. 鈥淵ou kind of stick out in a way,鈥� she explains. 鈥淚ndustries are looking to close the gender gap, [so] they鈥檙e looking for more females.鈥�

Sarah has been involved in the Dalhousie Women in Technology Society since her second year at Dal, and is now the society鈥檚 co-president. 鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty close to my heart,鈥� Sarah says. She hopes to continue to help out after graduating, and find similar organizations to work with in the industry.

Computer Science is not Sarah鈥檚 only passion: she is also a lover of music, which she was able to explore here at Dal. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really nice to have something else where you can kind of just relax and enjoy yourself. With the stress of everything else going on, I really enjoy playing the flute to put my mind at ease.鈥�

Sarah also enjoys taking part in DalDance, a student society offering recreational dance classes on campus. 鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely good to look out for all the different societies on campus, because there is something for everyone.鈥�

Sarah knows what it takes to be exceptional: get involved, be passionate about what you do, and stay connected.
