Thank you for taking the time to visit my website!



Currently

I am an undergraduate at Cal State Long Beach majoring in Psychology and minoring in Computer Science. I am interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human Systems Integration (HSI), Virtual Environments (VR/AR), Augmented Cognition, and the military sector. My goal is to pursue a graduate degree in Human Factors.


Disciplines

CUNY Borough of Manhattan Community College: From 2010 to 2011, My interest in nano-technology motivated me to pursue Chemical Engineering. Gained some experience in a laboratory analyzing samples of polycrystalline silicone and colon cancer cultures with a Raman microscope.

Santa Monica College: During 2012-2013, my background in Information Technology pushed me to pursue Computer Science. A summer course in General Psychology led to my current pursuit in Human Factors and Ergonomics discipline.
