Technology Assistant
Year & Major
Hi! My name is Diego Navia, I am a senior student majoring in Computer Science. I was part of last year's fellowship cohort and I'm glad to have the opportunity to experience it again! Since I got into JMU, I was always curious about X-Labs. Their mission, values and focus on interdisciplinary education seemed to align with my career goals and my own values, so once I heard about this program I was quickly interested in applying, and now here I am.
Fellowship Goals
I am curious about how a different team can tackle new goals and objectives for this academic year for X-Labs. Even if it is my second time here, it is exciting to see how things can vary from year to year and gain new skills and responsibilities as we collaborate with each other.
Interests & Passions
I have a passion in creating visual and interactive experiences for different needs. Whether it is a game, VR experience or a Web Application, I always love the process of designing and creating things. I do game development, drawing, dancing, video editing, gaming and recently I got into music composition. I do a wide variety of activities, and I am constantly trying new things. I lead as president of 2 clubs: DukeDevs (game development club) and the Spanish Club.
Fun Fact
I am an international student from Bolivia. Fluent in 3 languages (Spanish, English, French) and basic understanding of Portuguese and Japanese.
