About Me

Hello There!

I am currently attending UC Merced as a full-time student majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. At the moment, I am interested in seeking an opportunity that would allow me to acquire the skills of learning multiple programming languages to assist in my goal of becoming a full-stack developer.

Throughout my multiple accomplishments, I have acquired analytical, organizational, and adaptability skills which assist in my motivation to complete tasks with a sensible approach and improve my collaboration and communication skills. As one of my accomplishments is starting a local business of my own, I have also acquired management and marketing skills to promote myself to others.
