Hi Everyone!

I’m Tessa, and I am the newest member of the Microsoft Learning Imagine Cup Team.  I just joined Microsoft as an Associate Product Manager about a month ago.  I am incredibly excited to be working on this project.  The Imagine Cup is a great opportunity for students to get hands-on technology experience.  I hope our learning resources will help you prepare for the competition and your future endeavors.

I just graduated from The University of Texas in August, so I certainly remember what it is like to be a student.  My undergraduate degrees were in business and marketing.   I also studied textiles and apparel.   After graduating, I spent a month traveling in Europe before starting my job.  I visited ten countries while I was in Europe.  Perhaps I even stayed in your hometown!  Besides traveling, some of my other interests include:  technology, photography, art, cooking, economics, and reading.

I look forward to getting to know you all throughout the course of the competition.  If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know. 

Good luck to ya’ll!  (That’s how we say it in Texas.) :)

Tessa
