Hello there! My name is Victoria, I use they/them and she/her pronouns, and I’m an educator, academic, and engineer. I’m passionate about accessibility, CS education, and civic tech.
I’m a proud Chapina (Guatemalan) born and raised in Chicago, now calling Rhode Island home. I am also a proud QuestBridge Scholar, Technolochica, and a member of NCWIT Aspirations, among others. Outside of computer science and teaching, I enjoy reading, writing (poetry and short stories), and watching anything that’s suspense, thriller, or comedy.
I’m a PhD student in the Computer Science + Learning Sciences Program at Northwestern U. I am a proud Brunonian with a Master’s in Urban Education Policy with a focus on Computer Science Education, as well as a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Hispanic Studies.
PhD Student, Northwestern University
Careers in science and technology teach you how to be a problem solver, empower you to create tools and products that others use, and allow you to have a voice in technology. It's an immensely creative tool-- you can use technology in any field you are in: dance, tv, drawing, sculpture, anything.
