I am a motivated Computer Science student at the University of Florida specializing in Software and Game Development, driven by an interest for crafting immersive digital experiences that blend technology with creative design. My long-standing passion for video games has encouraged me to develop skills in software development, game mechanics, and interactive design through ongoing academic and professional experiences.My background includes hands-on experience as a high school IT Tech Support Representative, where I diagnosed software and network issues and managed classroom technology to ensure smooth tech operations in a fast-paced environment. As a Receptionist/Coordinator, I refined my organizational and communication skills by managing client interactions and coordinating a large team of technicians. These roles equipped me with a strong foundation in quick problem-solving, team management, and effective communication.During high school, I was also a part of the Computers Team for a NASA project, where I learned and implemented Python to develop formulas for visualizing climatology data. I worked alongside the 45th Weather Squadron on weather data manipulation for the Lightning Launch Commit Criteria project, enriching my understanding of data analysis and visualization and giving me a taste of real-world computer science applications.In addition to practical experience, I am a certified Microsoft Technology Associate and have been recognized with an Honorable Mention by NCWIT, highlighting my dedication in computer science. My technical skills include programming languages like Python, C++, and Java. I have also completed significant projects such as a Sudoku game developed with Pygame and a Minesweeper game using the Simple and Fast Media Library (SFML), focusing on user experience, performance optimization, and UI/UX design.I am actively seeking opportunities in software and game development, aiming to contribute to teams at top tech and social media companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Pinterest, where I can help build software solutions and enhance user engagement. Equally, I aspire to join gaming companies such as EA, Activision, and Nintendo, where I can work on and improve interactive and immersive gaming worlds. Outside of tech, I enjoy pickup soccer, hiking, crochet, and fashion, which continuously refreshes my prolific mindset. I am excited to connect with professionals and companies that share my passion for blending technology with creativity, and I look forward to contributing to the future of software and game development!
