Experiences

Computer Specialist I |May 2025 - Present|

I kicked off my summer as a Computer Specialist I with UIC! This role gives me the opportunity to assist faculty, staff, and students by troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Unix, Android, and iOS. I’ll also be working with computer lab maintenance, and helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Headstarter AI |July 2024 - January 2025|

I’m diving into building AI projects to explore new ideas, solve interesting problems, and have some fun experimenting with technology. Along the way, I’m building skills that go beyond coding—like personal branding, networking, collaborating with others, interviewing, and presenting my work. I’m excited to share what I create, connect with people who are just as curious, and keep learning as I go.

Code Ninjas |Dec 2021 - Mar 2023|

As a coding instructor, I worked directly with the students to help guide them through the Code Ninjas curriculum and teach them problem-solving skills. I helped them gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, and logic, as they progressed from white to black belt.
