As a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a B.S.E. in Digital Media Design, I am no stranger to the intersection of art, communication, and computer science. With project experience in various sectors of creative tech (i.e. game development, animation, spatial computing, graphics pipeline programming, 3D modeling, simulation software, etc.) I have learned how to effectively integrate artistic vision with technical precision to deliver innovative and impactful solutions. I hope to leverage my interdisciplinary background as an artist and engineer, along with my adaptability and teamwork skills, to develop innovative technology that empowers and inspires users.

​​​

I have professional engineering experience working as a Full-Stack Software Engineering Intern at Ethic (a sustainable and equitable investment firm managing over $4.5 billion in assets) and a Quality Assurance Engineering Intern at IPC Systems (a Fintech company providing award-winning SaaS trading communication platforms to over 7,000 customers worldwide). I have also conducted generative computer animation and augmented reality research at the University of Pennsylvania, exploring novel AI and LLM computer techniques for generating motion animations for an educational and interactive AR tool. Additionally, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for CIS 5680: Game Design Practicum, a graduate-level course dedicated to teaching students how to develop 3D games and AR/VR applications.  

​

Outside of the classroom, I danced, choreographed, and directed as Creative Director of the West Philly Swing Dance Troupe and led the development of a hand-drawn film as a co-Founder and Lead Producer at Pencilbite Animation Studio. I am also passionate about gender and racial equity and engaged in various AAPI and LGBTQIA+ community groups such as the Asian Pacific American Leadership Initiative (APALI), the Spice Collective, Penn Queer & Asian, and Penn's Association for Gender Equity.
