Gabriella Mayorga is a transfer student hailing from two colleges: Stockton University and Atlantic Cape Community College. She pursued a C&I major with a cybersecurity track for her undergraduate year where she met Dr. Heydari. She learned of his cybersecurity research group and asked to help out on his project for facial recognition using Google Glass. Gabriella had no computer exposure before coming to Rowan, but thanks to faculty guidance and her research partner, Gabriella helped bring the project to life and went on to become a master's candidate for CS.
