A new milestone has been reached by Antiguan tech scholar Aayana Evanson, who has officially graduated with a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from one of the world’s leading academic institutions, New York University (NYU).
This impressive capstone to Evanson’s graduate studies is the product of years of consistent hard work, relentless academic commitment, and intentional investment in expanding her professional expertise in the rapidly evolving technology sector. Throughout her graduate program, Evanson centered her research and practical training on software development, building an extensive technical skill set that includes proficiency in widely used programming languages and development tools: Pascal, C++, Python, Pygame, and Javascript, along with hands-on experience working with the Unreal Engine game development platform, to name just a few of her core competencies.
Evanson’s achievement marks another step forward in a long record of academic excellence that stretches back across her educational career. Before enrolling at NYU for her graduate studies, she completed her undergraduate education at St. John’s University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science with cum laude honors. Prior to that, she completed her associate degree at Monroe College, graduating summa cum laude — the highest academic distinction available at the institution. Evanson’s secondary education was rooted in her home region, where she attended two respected local institutions: Antigua Girls High School (AGHS) and Sunnyside Tutorial School.
As Evanson crosses this new academic threshold, her loved ones are joining in celebrating the hard work and dedication that brought her to this moment. She is the daughter of Dean and Gwendolyn Evanson, and her entire network of family and friends have shared in the pride of this significant career and academic accomplishment.
