Haneen Barri turned an internship with Booz Allen Hamilton into a full-time job after graduating from Wright State with a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science.<\/p><\/div>\n

It only took one class. Shortly after arriving at Wright State University, Haneen Barri had been torn between majoring in business or engineering.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, after taking one computer programming course the spring of my freshman year, I knew that was what I wanted to pursue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Today, Barri has a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science<\/a> and a full-time job at Booz Allen Hamilton, a management and information technology consulting firm that employs more than 27,000 workers around the world.<\/p>\n

Barri began interning for Booz Allen Hamilton in 2018, working as a Summer Games intern. She was on a team with four other interns assigned to create solutions for the real-world problems of clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur specific task was to help Homefull combat food deserts in urban areas to decrease the number of citizens with a lack of access to nutritional food,\u201d she said. \u201cWe helped the nonprofit organization by creating an inventory system to keep track of their produce to better serve the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating from Wright State in 2019 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science, a minor in business and mathematics, and a certificate in cyber security, Barri was hired full time by Booz Allen. She is a software engineer and consultant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the environment of working at Booz Allen. It has a very lively and friendly atmosphere,\u201d she said. \u201cThe most challenging part, for me, was improving on my public speaking skills so that I could better reach my clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barri grew up in Bellbrook. Her father is a computer engineer and her mother was a teacher. Barri attended ECOT, the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, which gave her a flexible schedule and enabled her to take college courses while in high school and still graduate on time, in 2015. Then it was on to Wright State.<\/p>\n

Barri said Wright State helped get her to where she is today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was at a Wright State event that I was introduced to Booz Allen and then later contacted for an interview for my first internship there,\u201d she said. \u201cThe corporate open houses and job fairs at Wright State do a great job at helping you get your foot in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barri advises current students looking for careers to network, get to know their local businesses, create connections and attend job fairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
