Brandi Durham

SENIOR Computer Science Student at College of Charleston

About Me ...

I am a senior at the College of Charleston studying Computer Sciene. After taking a website design course at The College, I wanted to try my luck at a personal website.

When I am not hard at work studying, you can find me at the beach with a good book or catching up on my favorite TV shows.

My two passions are cybersecurity and software development. I enjoy being able to combine the two while developing. Before my graduation in May of 2020, I hope to make a decision on which path I'd like to take.
