As a Computer Science and Linguistics double major, she has nurtured her passion at Haverford. Maggie has also been interested in creating software that will help make it easier for those with physical and mental disabilities to communicate with the world around them.

A recent course taught in coordination with Gallaudet University, a university for deaf students in Washington D.C., made a positive impact on her when the class visited the university. During the visit, Maggie found she could not communicate with the people around her as they signed with each other. The situation provided perspective for Perkoff. “It made me realize that this is how people who are deaf must feel in situations where they are surrounded by people speaking,” said the senior women's lacrosse player.

With her interests in Computer Science and Linguistics, Maggie tutors both subjects sharing her love of both with those around her. 

 

When asked about her time with the women’s lacrosse team, Perkoff said "I love the sense of friendship and community that has come from being on the lacrosse team.”

One of her favorite traditions is getting excited before games with the team in the locker room. The women’s lacrosse team has been lucky enough to travel for Spring Break for the past few years and Maggie believes that traveling has brought the team closer together because of the exciting nature of traveling to new places together.

 

This past summer, Maggie worked as a Software Development Engineering Intern for Amazon. She is still in the interview process for opportunities in the field of software development after graduation.
