What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated computer science student at the University of Houston, expected to graduate in May 2026. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my consistent placement on the Dean's List and my graduation with High Honors from Houston Community College. My coursework has equipped me with a solid foundation in computer programming and networking technology, which I am eager to apply in real-world scenarios.

Currently, I serve as the On-Site Director of Public Relations for the Student Government Association at the University of Houston. In this role, I lead strategic initiatives to enhance our online presence and streamline internal communications. My previous experience as an IT Content Writing Intern at Marketeq Digital allowed me to hone my skills in creating engaging content on emerging technologies, while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure a consistent brand voice. I thrive in environments that challenge my creativity and analytical skills, and I am passionate about leveraging technology to communicate effectively.
