I am a project designer and innovator with a background in robotics engineering and computer science. The skills I learned in academia helped propel me into my current career path as a public servant working in California, as a Research Data Specialist II at the California Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS). My skillset focuses on problem solving and long-term planning, which I have applied to Business Innovation within the state to streamline business operations and enable robust collaborative efforts within my cohort.

Aside from my professional skills, I work to broaden my skills to learn various programming languages and technologies, as well as forays into art and game design. Ultimately, I like to see things that work well in both form and function, and love for my work to have a direct and consequential impact on those around me.
