About

Currently pursuing my Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, I aspire to be part of a company committed to expanding technology in the world using innovation. I am a self-starter, highly motivated individual interested in pursuing a career in Electrical Engineering. Over the years, I held several leadership positions and have been involved with multiple engineering clubs and internships, improving my technical and interdisciplinary experience. I am determined, hard-working and have a learning mindset that enables me to solve problems with creative solutions. As a GEM Fellow, I aspire to support and empower Latinx communities to pursue careers in STEM. I love jiu-jitsu, playing soccer, listening to music and playing guitar. Specialties and skills: Digital design, circuit design, PCB Design, EDA tools, physical design and optimization, Verilog, Python, TCL, Detail Orientation, Communication
