My Story

I'm a student attending the University of Advancing Technology. I'm working towards my major in Advancing Computer Science. I have experience in C++, C#, Python, JavaScript, and web languages such as HTML and CSS. I started coding starting from my Sophomore year in high school, and have been interested in it ever since. I've delved into mobile development, web design, UX design, game development, and machine learning concepts.

​

I have many passions in life and I find programming to be a way to let my creativity out. I'm very leader-oriented and I love working and collaborating people. I've worked with many groups before and encourage the collaboration between programmers such as myself. I love assisting in the development of games, movies, robotics, and more. Contact me if you have a project you think I'll be interested in.

By the time I graduate, I plan to take the knowledge I've learned from UAT and use it to startup my own tech company. My goals for my business life and personal life will always be to try to change people's lives for the better and contribute to the development of science and technology. I have no doubt in my mind that I will achieve this one day. I'm an extremely driven person and I am willing to work hard to achieve my goals.

In a world characterized by constant change, I stand as a unique individual propelled by an insatiable curiosity for science and an unyielding commitment to personal growth. Through the captivating field of computer science, I seek to explore boundless creative avenues to create applications that transcend mere utility, embodying solutions that empower and uplift those around me. Influenced by visionaries who have contributed positively to the world, I have honed my skills in business planning, product development, and computer communication and interaction, equipping myself to navigate life's challenges with purpose and impact. As I reflect on my academic journey, I realize the capacity within me to create innovative solutions that genuinely improve lives, igniting an unyielding dedication to chase after these aspirations. This essay delves into my past accomplishments and contributions, while shedding light on my vision for the future—a vision of positive change and a profound desire to ignite purpose in the hearts of people worldwide.

​

What sets me apart and makes me unique is my profound love for science, unwavering passion for learning, and strong desire to help others. These qualities have led me to pursue a field that captivates me - computer science, where I find immense creative freedom. I am drawn to the prospect of crafting applications that not only serve my needs but also benefit others in meaningful ways. Throughout my academic journey, I have been intellectually influenced by successful individuals who have made a positive impact and scientists who have contributed to the betterment of the world. Moreover, concepts I've learned in college, such as business planning, product development, and understanding computer communication, have equipped me with valuable skills to navigate life and make a difference. Reflecting on my undergraduate academic experience, I've come to understand the state of the world and the power I possess to create solutions that can genuinely help people. Two significant academic accomplishments that have prepared me are building my first website and gaining hands-on experience by working with a company. Additionally, my research has revolved around current world issues and trends, giving me a deeper understanding of their implications for individuals and society as a whole. Beyond academics, my awareness of the community and the world has been shaped by non-academic experiences, particularly the impact of COVID-19 and the prevailing political climate. These events have underscored the importance of using my voice to make a difference and contribute positively to the world.

Previous Contributions

In both my accomplishments and future aspirations, my driving force has been to enhance productivity and bring structure to daily life. From understanding the significance of data, I am dedicated to creating applications that can benefit others as much as they have benefited me. Among my projects, Mealthy stands out as an application designed to simplify meal planning for people with dietary restrictions, allergies, or medical conditions, ensuring easy access to meal planning. Similarly, MyJournal aims to provide a hassle-free space for people seeking peace through journaling, without any barriers and full control over user customization. FitUnison emerged as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to make indoor exercising enjoyable and interactive, connecting people while following a fitness plan. Within my community, I possess a diverse skill set that includes programming expertise, a hunger for learning and exploration, and strong teamwork and leadership capabilities. During my contribution at GrabTheAxe, I led a team of developers to create a successful blog, reinforcing my passion for collaborative projects. I find immense joy in working on projects that align with my interests and passions.

​

Future Contributions

As part of a broader community, I actively seek opportunities to contribute my skills and knowledge to various causes. I am eager to assist with local activities and global issues such as climate change. The women in tech community holds a special interest for me, as I wish to collaborate with individuals who share similar experiences and enjoy coding as much as I do. Additionally, I hope to volunteer at dog shelters and engage with the astronomy community to contribute to scientific research. Mental health advocacy is also close to my heart, and I aim to use my expertise in computer science to support and uplift those who are struggling.

​

In essence, my ultimate goal is to positively impact lives by facilitating ease and igniting a passion for self-improvement. By helping individuals with executive functioning challenges and creating user-friendly applications, I aim to empower people to wake up with a sense of purpose and a drive to create a better world. Through active involvement in diverse communities and causes, I aspire to inspire others to embrace this vision of positive change, fostering a collective effort to create a brighter and more fulfilling future for all.
