I graduated from San Francisco State University back in 2022 with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. I chose this field of study because I personally love working with numbers. At the moment, I am working towards earning some technical certificates as well getting an Associate's degree in Computer Networking and Information Technology (CNIT) at City College of San Francisco.
In addition to work and schooling, I also run a small business on the side where I sell my crochet creations. I've been crocheting for about a decade now and make various items ranging from small accessories to big stuffed animals. On some occasions, I sell my work at local festivals and small farmers markets. You can also find some of my products inside Handmade in CA, a store inside Stonestown where a bunch of makers sell their items.
When I'm not crocheting, you can most definitely find me on my PC either playing video games or listening to music. Growing up, my sister and I played a lot of Harvest Moon games, which sparked my interest in cozy farming simulators like Stardew Valley and Minecraft. While I don't stick to one specific genre, I tend to gravitate more towards co-op or multiplayer games and mystery titles that require me to do a lot of thinking.
Provided IT support and digital literacy training to residents of affordable housing communities, including managing a ticketing system, troubleshooting hardware/software issues, and distributing refurbished computers. Conducted one-on-one and classroom-style sessions to improve digital skills for low-income families, while collaborating with Dev/Mission partners to organize and support community tech events.
Participated in a pre-apprenticeship program, gaining hands-on experience in the Internet of Things (IoT), IT essentials, and front-end web development through numerous tech and coding projects. Engaged in various workshops on industry best practices, workplace etiquette, and professional communication, preparing for successful entry into the tech industry.
Encoded various medical forms into the clinic’s electronic medical record (EMR) system, enhancing the workflow of physicians and nurses as they work with patients undergoing egg donation. Responsible for creating and maintaining websites for the entire organization using WordPress and SiteGround, gaining a combined total of 5,000 unique visitors and 36,000 pageviews.
Collaborated with the Scalable Solvers group within the Applied Mathematics Computational Research Division in optimizing their current matrix sketching algorithm for hierarchically semi-separable matrices. Presented my findings on random-sampling matrix sketching to fellow interns and scientists working at the laboratory during the anticipated Summer poster session.
