ABOUT ME

Background

I'm a passionate Computer Science student with aspirations to become a professional Data Analyst and Web Developer. Outside of my coursework, I dedicate a lot of time to volunteering at my university. As a Prospective Student Engagement Ambassador, I've had the privilege of welcoming new students and their families, giving campus tours that highlight my favorite spots, and helping organize events for the Computer Science Department such as orientations and student activities. In addition, I serve as the Tech Executive for the Data Science and Machine Learning Club, where I design and manage tools that keep our operations running smoothly. I love bringing ideas to life; there's nothing more rewarding than turning a concept into a polished, useful final product. I believe data is essential for making well-informed, justifiable decisions, and I'm excited by future opportunities to combine my analytical skills with my web development expertise to create intuitive dashboards that can be easily understood by both professionals and non-professionals alike.

Outside of academics, I have a wide range of hobbies that keep me inspired and energized. I'm an avid motorcyclist; I love the feeling of the open road and the fresh breeze, especially when riding with friends. Traveling is another big passion of mine, and I've been fortunate to visit many countries, including Mexico, Japan, the United States, several parts of Europe, and more. I'm currently eyeing trips to Singapore and China, both of which have incredible sights I can't wait to experience. In my free time, I also enjoy gaming with friends. It's my way of unwinding, connecting, and having a good laugh. Though sometimes things can get competitive, its all a part of the fun. I believe that my passion for technology has always gone hand-in-hand with my love for video games, as I believe technology has the power to bring people together and build strong communities.
