Expected Grad

I'm a junior at the University of Houston's C.T. Bauer College of Business, pursuing a BBA in Management Information Systems. I'm fascinated by how technology — especially Generative AI — is reshaping the way businesses operate, innovate, and make decisions.

This past summer I worked as a Technology Intern at Avalon Web Services, collaborating with a team of engineers on GitHub, supporting the software development lifecycle, and helping cut reported bugs by 15%. Along the way I earned the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations certification, adding to AI credentials from Microsoft, Google, DeepLearning.AI, and the Wharton School.

Earlier, as a Project Management Intern at Technosys Consulting, I turned stakeholder input into product decisions and used AI-powered tools to cut manual coordination time by 20%. Looking ahead, I'm excited to grow into project and product management roles — blending strategy, creativity, and AI to drive meaningful impact.
