Hello, my name is Dez Hartpence, and I am currently a student at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) pursuing a degree in Information Systems. My educational goal is to continue into the Computer Applications and Support (Computer AAS) program because I am passionate about technology and enjoy learning how computers, software, and information systems work together to solve problems.
I decided to pursue a Computer AAS degree because technology plays an important role in nearly every industry today. I am interested in developing practical technical skills that will prepare me for a successful career in information technology. I enjoy learning about computer systems, web development, software applications, and troubleshooting technical issues. The Computer AAS program will provide me with hands-on experience and industry-relevant knowledge that can help me achieve my long-term professional goals.
Outside of school, I have several hobbies that help me maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. One of my favorite activities is teaching Pilates. I enjoy helping others improve their strength, flexibility, and overall well-being through movement and exercise. Teaching Pilates has allowed me to develop strong communication and leadership skills while encouraging others to reach their fitness goals.
In addition to teaching Pilates, I spend a lot of time at the gym. Fitness is an important part of my life because it helps me stay focused, disciplined, and motivated. I enjoy challenging myself physically and continuously working toward new health and fitness goals.
As a DMACC Information Systems student, I am excited to continue expanding my technical knowledge while building a strong foundation for a career in technology. I look forward to applying the skills I learn in the Computer AAS program and combining my passion for technology, education, and personal growth to create new opportunities for my future.
