About Me


After graduating from UCLA, I went into the medical field as an ophthalmic technician. While providing care for patients, I realized one of the things that can make or break patient care is the efficacy of the medical record software. Having learned full-stack web development, I am looking to build clean and effective user interfaces for people to use as they manage different aspects of their lives online.

Having graduated from Thinkful, I'm grateful to have been equipped with more skills to be able to help people in their day-to-day lives. I'm excited to work with other developers to be able to help people virtually!

Outside of software engineering, I enjoy photography, visiting new places, and learning more about the world around me. Sometimes it just takes a change of context to see the world in a whole new light.
