Dorilyn Martz Ames graduated cum laude and with honors from the College of William and Mary in 2000 with a major in History and a minor in Computer Science. She decided she liked Williamsburg a little too much to leave, and attended the William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law, and graduated in 2003. Following law school, she served as a Presidential Management Fellow at the Veterans Benefits Administration before moving to her current job as an attorney for the Board of Veterans Appeals, where she practices veterans benefits law. Dorilyn became interested in computers in high school when her father taught her how to build her own. Even though her law career has taken her away from technology-related work, she still builds her own computers and is an avid gamer. She has been interested in encouraging women to participate in technology-related fields since she noticed the lack of women in upper-level computer science classes in college.
