Congratulations to Aamina Masood, Dallas SWE’s June Member of the Month!
Aamina became a member of SWE through Collin College’s chapter in 2021. She had recently started her Associates in Cybersecurity to update herself and found out about SWE. Later that year, she volunteered for Design Your World. Aamina has been a volunteer with Girl Scouts for more than 12 years so was excited to help out with DYW.
Aamina then volunteered to help with the Outreach committee and helped with the activity ideas for DYW 2023. She enjoys working with girls and wants to further interest in STEM for girls.
Aamina is a graduate of Imperial College, London, UK having completed her Bachelors and Masters in Information Systems Engineering. She has worked in web development and is currently studying cybersecurity. Aamina also holds associate degrees in Pastry Arts and Culinary Arts. Currently, she teaches Baking at Collin part-time and is searching for an appropriate position in the cybersecurity field.
This summer, Aamina’s goals are to pass the CCNA and Security+ exam certifications and volunteer with the Collin Robotics Summer Camp as Lego is one of her favorite things.
Having been in the computing industry for a long time, Aamina has this to say about SWE, “When I graduated from Imperial, there were very few women in my graduating class and even fewer in the industry. I was very lucky to find a woman run firm that gave me great experience. However, I love how SWE has so many supportive women. It makes my heart happy to see such appreciation.”
