Introductions: Vanessa Forney

My name is Vanessa and I am a Junior at Cal Poly. I am a Computer Science major and I'm currently taking Computer Organization and Fundamentals of Computer Science III. Eventually, I plan to continue on to graduate school at Cal Poly to further my knowledge of Computer Science!

I am very excited to begin working on this research project with Zoe, Jane, and Amanda. I have started learning about WebGL, Unity, and looking through the information from the trips to Malta. I look forward to learning a lot this year and getting this project up and running :).
