About
Hello, my name is Tenetra Walton. I am currently employed full-time, but I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Computer Science. I graduated from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration. I work for the State of Mississippi and assist state agencies with utilizing the state's human resources and payroll systems. It is a functional information systems role, and this has triggered my interest in Computer Science and learning how to program. I plan to use my skills to assist agencies better and improve my understanding of how systems work. I also would like to pursue customizing and building programs to help other states and companies with their needs.
