"My ultimate plan, or my dream, is to wargame for the defense and security of the United States and the world, internationally, and promoting peace through the usage of technology and cyber space," she told ABC.

"She's so deserving of this," said Hillary Appel, one of Chen's professors. "She'll be a wonderful ambassador for the College, for Southern California and for her home state of Alaska too."
