Jermy Budhram’s Profile
My motivation for pursuing my degree is to fulfill my dream career of becoming a writing professor or a technical writer. With the current pandemic, we are working remotely and it is likely that after the pandemic, there will be more remote jobs and opportunities online. Working remotely makes working time more efficient because I am able to complete tasks and reach deadlines at a quicker rate. If I wanted to work as a technical writer, I would have to be able to edit and break down information so that anyone can understand it. I would need to have strong spelling and grammar skills as well as general writing and communication skills. I want to work on important skills in terms of formatting and structuring. These skills will be incredibly useful to me in my professional career, since the line between designer and writer has become much thinner in the past decade.

My Projects
Realizing the value of the research experience at the undergraduate level, this project is committed to fostering research opportunities for City Tech students. Faculty and students can use this project as a place to share announcements about research opportunities, as well as a place to offer information about the experiences students and faculty have had in their research endeavors.
