I am a graphic and web designer with experience as a designer in both web/digital and print formats. I have a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design and Minor in Web Technologies and Applications from Cal-State Long Beach.
• My focus is on web design and I have won national awards for my web design work through ACUI (Association of College Unions International) on two occasions: for ASI student Government's Website (2016) and for BeachPride Programs' Website (2015). I worked on these projects for ASI Communications.
• I can code in front-end languages and worked with using best practices for web.
• I recently obtained a certificate as a PHP web programmer and learned more back-end coding as well as created small mobile applications.
• I have built and programmed small robots through a sculpture class at Cal-State Long Beach
I am a first-generation college grad and would have liked to have had access to exploring careers in tech at a younger age as I attended inner-city grade schools that didn't offer tech programs like engineering or web design.
I would recommend exploring science and tech careers to Latina girls because you can create many things and there is a lot of room for creativity and imagination. Also you are always learning something new with each project and it is interesting to see how technology works.
