Growing up, I always had a technical mindset, but all sorts of things had my interest. I had a great passion for art back in high school, where I was a finalist in the NYC Disability Pride Parade contest in 2019 during my senior year. However, I was also taking AP Computer Science A due to my interest in having a coding career.
My neurodivergency always made navigating the world difficult, and I was a very sheltered person. And during a time where I was supposed to thrive, the COVID-19 pandemic came right after I started college. As such, I spent most of my college career at home doing online classes, with a gradual return to in-person classes shortly before I graduated with Magna Cum Laude.
After a gap year and initially applying for Developer and Engineer positions, I heard about the COOP Careers fellowship for recent first-generation college graduates, which is where my professional journey began. During the fellowship, I focused on my professional development and began building on my experience.
It's now over a year later, and I have grown into a more confident person not only professionally, but also by personal means. I have gotten more experience over the months, and I've been exploring more of my interests and passions. I have found ways to be both technical and creative-minded, using my mind to its fullest potential.
Since January 2026, I have been building and hosting my own website after buying a custom domain for a professional and aesthetic look, which began with me wanting to showcase my portfolio and experience while continuing to build on them.
I had always wanted to get more into tools like Google Analytics and BigQuery. I knew that Google Analytics was for monitoring the traffic of websites and apps, and I got more convinced when I found you could link the data to other tools like BigQuery and Looker Studio.
Since I intend to run this website for long-term, this is like a long-term data analytics and digital marketing project, where I'll always need relevant tools to run and manage and learn from it.
