Edna Gonzalez, a Small Town Wonder

Edna Gonzalez is a junior at Texas State University. She is a 25-year-old Digital Media Innovations major who was born and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, a small town outside of Houston, Texas.

Gonzalez started as a computer science major at Lamar University, located in Beaumont, Texas, where she realized her potential was too great for the university's courses. 

"I feel like I wasn't really pushing myself to the limit, so I had to move," she replied after being asked for a reason she chose Texas State.

After being asked about her change in majors, she replied, "after I moved, I had to take a different set of computer science and math classes and I didn't want to do that again."

Edna is now learning how to code and plans to be proficient in time for graduation.
