I currently attend California State University of Los Angeles and am majoring in CIS. I had an epiphany early on: Technology can be connected to everything in the world around us. In high school, my biggest push toward technology occurred through Iridescent's Technovation challenge. In the challenge, I worked with other students and created a mobile application for environmental issues concerning the community. I was responsible for programming code blocks to command the actions in the app. This is where my curiosity was sparked. I learned HTML and CSS to create websites using Adobe Dreamweaver and was able to delve more into website and application development during my internship with Edlio.
During high school I was involved with technology and environment-related programs. Now that I am in college, I help in MEP(MESA Engineering Program) and in my free time make websites while improving my developer and professional skills. I've learned various programming languages and software, and I have a goal to learn something new each day. In my job, I mainly work on making an iOS and Android app for schools to help students and teachers have access with a touch of their fingers. I am also in a work group project at Edlio to make our websites international. My studies are a mixture of business and computer science, and I am learning how companies use technology / informational systems to their advantage.

While growing up, my parents stressed the importance of helping my community and those around me. Through technology, I am able to do this on a very large scale. My company has close to one million patients on our website, and I am extremely proud to know that I have created something that helps people in need to become healthier.
