My Story
I'm an electrical and computer engineering student raised in Laredo, Texas. From early robotics clubs to UT Austin's rigorous curriculum, I've found purpose in solving complex problems with thoughtful hardware and software design.
My academic path includes magnet programs and mentorship that shaped my passion for engineering. Today, I continue to blend technical depth with mentorship, ensuring that the next generation of students feel empowered to pursue STEM.
Beyond the Lab
When I'm not in the lab or classroom, you'll find me watching sports—especially football—and debating the latest NBA and NFL storylines with friends. I believe that teamwork, whether on the field or in an engineering sprint, is rooted in communication and mutual respect.
I'm also energized by building inclusive communities. From IEEE meetups to mentoring sessions, I look for opportunities to connect people with resources that help them thrive.
