About me

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of South Carolina with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. As an AI undergraduate assistant at USC, I build software like the USC Events App, help people get the most out of AI tools, and collaborate with Prisma Health on research into an AI avatar that supports people with speech impediments.

I've also worked as an IT intern at FPL Food in Augusta, Georgia, and I translate between English and Spanish. Across all of it, I focus on turning real user needs into accessible, practical technology.
