Andrea Scales

About

As a Computer Science major at Langston University, I am passionate about the intersection of technology and design. During my academic journey, I've not only honed my technical skills but also developed leadership qualities through various roles on campus, mainly the Langston University Ambassador Organization. These experiences have taught me the value of collaboration, effective communication, and the importance of being a servant leader. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am an entrepreneur at heart, having founded my own business, Custom Dreams, specializing in logo and graphic design for small businesses. I'm always eager to collaborate on exciting projects, explore new opportunities, and connect with like-minded professionals.
