Jasmine Moore GC ‘21, MS ‘20
In fall 2021, Jasmine Moore began work on her doctorate at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in human-centered computing. She credits her graduate degrees from Agnes Scott College, where she completed a master of science and a graduate certificate, for helping her gain acceptance into that competitive program.
Before studying data visualization, technology and data analysis at Agnes Scott, Moore used her knowledge of health sciences and public health in her role as an injury and violence prevention coordinator at Grady Memorial Hospital. While working at Grady, Moore knew that advanced graduate study would help her achieve her professional goals.
What she didn’t expect was to pivot from aspirations for a Ph.D. in public health to aspirations for a doctorate in human-centered computing. That transition happened while pursuing Agnes Scott’s master of science degree in technology leadership and management, a degree with a curriculum that is designed to teach students how to make effective decisions about the use of data and technology within an organization.
“That’s where I do my best work, by thinking of new questions and trying to pull together resources and ideas and create something new and innovative.”
