Education
My major and minor combination at the University of Illinois has allowed me to explore creative fields such as web development and UI/UX design. It has become a passion of mine to learn how to make graphics and interfaces with accessibility in mind, especially as technology is connecting more and more people.
As such, I've taken the liberty to take courses at my university and enroll in online supplementary courses that are related to my major and concentration. I hope to be able to put my creativity and skills to use at a company with the same end goal as me: an accessible product.
Major: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Anthropology (Graduation Date: Dec 2021)
Minor: Art + Design
