Alongside another woman of color, Hoffman was awarded the GEM National Consortium Fellowship. She was selected by Adobe Systems Incorporated which is where she will complete the internship portion of the program, reported by University of South Carolina.
During my undergraduate career I have worked on projects related to fast algorithms for "big data," game theoretic representations of diversity, humanoid robots as elementary school math tutors, machine learning algorithms for autonomous cars, and much more. I am also a founding member of the Women in Computing (WiC) group here at Carolina and am actively involved in promoting computer science education to underrepresented and underserved populations through programs like Google CS First.
