02 / THE PERSON
A practical mind.
A creative streak.
I learn best when I can try it, see what happens, and figure out why.
I’m a Computer Science and Information Systems student at Trinity Valley Community College in Palestine, Texas. My studies focus on Information Systems Support & Administration, and I’m working toward my A.A.S., expected in Spring 2027.
I’m drawn to the work behind the scenes: keeping systems useful, information organized, and technology understandable. Database administration is where I want to go. Systems, networking, and cloud coursework are helping me build the foundation.
Outside the lab, I bring that same curiosity to campus life. I’m a first-generation, bilingual Mexican-American student, a Financial Aid Office Assistant, and someone who enjoys adding a little personality to what I make.
