Hey there!
I am a female Product Manager in the telecom industry. Study habits that I developed early have proved to be invaluable. At the beginning of a school year or course, take the time to determine when key assignments are going to be due, if you know this in advance. Look at a calendar and see if you have overlap between assignments for different courses that could cause you to run into time constraints. It is good to identify this early so that you can plan for it and complete each assignment to the best of your ability.

My name is Alexa and I studied Computer Science in college! Now a few years later, I manage an awesome team of people at a technology company. I remember how often in my college days I was one of a few women in my coding classes, and often the only woman of color. It sometimes made me feel like I was in the wrong place! I often felt like I had to work even harder than my classmates to prove I should be there. Looking back, I am so happy that I lived through that discomfort because I love my job, I love my life, and I love how fun programming is!
