What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level roles in AI/ML, data, or software engineering that emphasize hands-on problem solving, mentorship, collaborative teams, and opportunities to build impactful, data-driven products.

I am a Computer Science student with hands-on experience in Python, AI/ML, data modeling, and building end-to-end software solutions. I have delivered automation that accelerated research timelines, created AI-driven applications, and developed interactive dashboards and robotics simulations to support data-informed decisions.

I've co-founded a nonprofit to encourage girls in STEM, contributed to robotics and aerial teams, and completed industry research at AstraZeneca and university labs. I combine strong technical skills with leadership in campus organizations to drive impact and mentor others into tech.
