Meet Your Summer 2023 Peer Advisors

Annabelle Cotton
Major: Digital Narrative and Interactive Design
Minor: Computer Science

“I am a junior majoring in Digital Narrative and Interactive Design intending to major in Creative Writing and Statistics. When not in class, I work for a Berlin based software analytics company called ChartMogul and as an Assistant Harbormaster at Annapolis City Dock (two very different things!) I love photography, film/tv, graphic design, and data science. I could never decide between the humanities and computer science, so I came to Pitt to do both!”

 

 

Joy Gimei
Major: Information Science
Certificate: Engineering for Humanities

"Hey guys, I am a rising Junior majoring in Information Science and pursuing a certificate in Engineering for Humanities! I am currently the Vice President of the Information Science club (OASIS), Photographer for Humans of Pitt, and DEI chair of my sorority (Delta Delta Delta). When not in the classroom, I am probably making a Spotify playlist, working out at the Pete, or adventuring with my friends :) "
