About Me

Born in Mexico, I first came to the United States at age five and officially became a resident at seven. I am a first-generation immigrant and college student with a deep love for both the arts and technology. Through countless moves back and forth between the two countries, one thing remained constant: my pink 3DS XL.

Today, my goal is to advance inclusive technology, addressing both user experience and representation within the field itself.

  • Interests: Front-End engineering, accessibility, interactive design, HCI practices.
  • Strength: SWE with an eye for design!
  • Currently: Looking for internships / early career roles.
