Annmarie Gajdos is a content creator and journalist who works full-time at HBO. She is passionate about storytelling and uses it to connect with people and share stories that have not been told. She has travelled to more than 30 countries to meet new people and learn about different cultures and traditions. Although no longer a student in college, Annmarie graduated with a Bachelors in Computer Science (which is something I am pursuing at the moment). She is also the host of the podcast “Suite 15” where she and her co-host discuss topics such as mental health and career changes.
Annmarie is a first generation immigrant whose parents came from Slovakia. While Annmarie may be an adult, she has cited them as her biggest support system. Growing up, her parents had the expectation that she would become a lawyer when she grew up. However, after Annmarie realized that this was not the right fit for her, elected to pursue computer science. Annmarie was an excellent student in the classroom, which helped her become valedictorian in middle school and in high school. She applied to many Ivy League Schools but despite her academic accomplishments, she got rejected. Annmarie would later attend Macaulay Honors College at Baruch where she would become her class’ valedictorian. During her time in college, she volunteered in different countries. Some of her experiences include teaching English in Myanmar and teaching students in Thailand about the importance of gender equality. These experiences allowed Annmarie to learn more about people’s way of living. In the future, she hopes to use her voice to bring people together and uplift marginalized communities.
