Bio
I love to help people and become a great team player. I am a Peruvian-American who is excited to learn new things and hopefully apply them to everyday life and help expand the knowledge around.
I am a York College graduate who majored in Mathematics with minors in Sociology and Youth Studies. As a college assistant, I help faculty and students understand the use of Blackboard, an educational resource tool, in the Educational Technology department.
I currently attend a program called Access Code 2.1 at Coalition for Queens in Long Island City, New York. I learned plenty of Java concepts and even created Android apps like Ecquo Planner (which is in the Google Playstore Now!). This program helped develop my problem-solving and communication skills to become a better mobile developer.
Current job
College Assistant at York College Ed Tech Department
Why would you recommend exploring careers in science and technology to other Latina girls?
Technology has a great impact in our world every day. It is responsible for various improvements inside the health industry, businesses production, housing, lifestyle, and entertainment. It brings easy access to information, which means it’s very convenient for education upon other things. I truly believe every Latina girl should encourage themselves to form part of such an amazing career that will permit them to be part of the changes this world will be facing in the future. Why not help create the technology that will bring the changes we desire for our world? Latinas: go strive for your dreams, and become part of the change! Never limit yourselves; always work for the best, and as long as you work for what you’re passionate about, don’t let anything stop you!
