Victoria Rollie Dameus, a senior at Lauderhill 6-12 STEM-MED magnet school, arrived from Haiti in 2013. She managed to develop her leadership role as the Secretary of National Honor Society’s Lauderhill 6-12 chapter, a lead anchor and writer of the school’s television production studio, Copy Editor of the Yearbook club, and Vice President of Future Educators of America’s Lauderhill 6-12 chapter. It was her active involvement in the coding group that propelled Victoria forward. As if learning English as a third language was not enough to keep her occupied, Victoria found the time to learn HTML, HTML5, CSS, Bootstrap, Python, SQL, JavaScript, and PHP. This opened a new world for her. Identifying problems and developing computer science solutions came naturally for Victoria, her work has gained the attention of the South Florida community and she has already made a footprint of her unique user experience web style. Virctoria’s determination to lead by example has provided Victoria with 1st place recognitions for Human Capital Management Jr. End of the Year competition and the Yaegar Redesign Project and 2019 NCWIT Aspirations in Computing National Award winner. Her community involvement led her to present at the 9th and 10th annual WordCamp Miami where as part of a panel discussion she shared her insights on web tools and publishing in the 21st century. She parlayed these experiences into a summer job at Conceptual Communications. She also has an AWS Certification.
