Get to Know Me

Who am I?

I am a graduating CS student who cares about creating meaningful impact through technology. Impact doesn't have to be for the masses; it can be for a single person or the people I care about. I aim to create a community where everyone cares about others' well-being and happiness.

Fun Facts

I was born in Venezuela, completed my primary education (grades 1–7) in China, and have navigated my secondary and higher education in the U.S. Living across three continents as a hard-of-hearing individual has given me wide world view.

Beyond the résumé

My time at RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and the Computer Science House (CSH) shaped my belief that innovation is most effective when it is inclusive and for the common good. I am driven by the desire to create environments where everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging and empowerment.
