About Me

Since childhood, my fascination with technology’s ability to address real-world problems has driven me to pursue a career in computer science. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Applied Mathematics from Texas State University (December 2024). My expertise includes programming languages such as C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, alongside tools and frameworks like React, Flask, Unity, Git, Firebase, and MongoDB. Actively involved in organizations such as Boko Hacks, Google Developer Student Club, Girls Who Code, and IEEE, I’ve strengthened my collaborative and leadership abilities.
