Work

In September 2026, I will be an undergraduate research assistant for the Design and Partnership Lab at UCI, with time compensated with academic credits.

In June 2026, I will be an Undergraduate Program Assistant at the UCI Information and Computer Sciences Summer Academy, for $16.90/hr, with a team of about 30 people. The Summer Academy, affiliated with the Stacey Nicholas Office of Outreach, Access, and Inclusion, is an introductory summer course program for high school students interested in computer science. I will be supporting Professor Michael Shindler's courses in AI/ML and cryptography.

Since January 2026, I volunteer as a designer and website developer for Soñando Sin Miedo, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the college and career development of first-generation or low-income high school students, based in Southern California. I was also a general volunteer for SSM's first Professional Development Fair.

Since Fall 2025, I am a drop-in tutor at the UCI Information and Computer Sciences Tutoring Center, for $22.15/hr, with a team of about ten people. I am responsible for tutoring students in lower-division Assembly, C, C++, Python, data structures, boolean logic and discrete structures, discrete mathematics, statistics, computer architecture, and operating systems. I am also responsible for tracking which students I tutor and for how long, for purposes of securing funding for the next fiscal year.

Since Summer 2025, I am an undergraduate research assistant for Professor Michael Shindler at UCI, with time compensated with academic credits, with a team of about 15 people, including graduate students and undergraduate students. I am responsible, with Julia Nguyen, for leading a study on student experiences and persistence. I also contribute to studies on active learning.

In Spring 2024, I was a learning assistant for boolean logic and discrete structures taught by Professor Irene Gassko at UCI, with time compensated with academic credits, with a team of about 20 people, including graduate student TAs, undergraduate graders, and undergraduate learning assistants. In Winter 2025 and Winter 2026, I was the lead learning assistant for discrete mathematics taught by Professor Gassko, with teams of similar size but without graders in 2026. For these courses, I was responsible for supporting around 300 students each term in flipped-classroom activities, hosting weekly study hall sessions, meeting weekly to discuss the course content and structure, and proctoring exams. As a lead, I hosted some of our weekly meetings. In Spring 2026, I am a learning assistant for theory of computation taught by Professor Michael Shindler.
