ABOUT ME


Hi, my name is Jessica Harding, although people usually call me by my initials, J.C. I'm doing a combined Bachelor's and Master's in Electrical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University with my concentrations in circuits and hardware. In my spare time, I am an active member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE), Women of Science and Engineering Roundtable(WISER), and the engineering honor society Tau Beta Pi. Right now, I'm interning as a Sr. Processor and Chip Design Intern at IBM. In my spare time, I like sewing, painting, and making wacky projects. In future I hope to use my creativity and passion to develop cutting edge hardware.
