Computers have always fascinated me since childhood. But as an adult, I have come to realize that computers play an integral part to our world today. My interest in computer science started from an interest in automating very menial tasks such as emailing parents about their student's missing assignments. This interest has developed into a desire to both create practical software solutions and to develop and create novel models to support underrepresented groups.

You can see in my current research that a couple of the projects revolve around the Spanish language or the Hispanic population. As there is a huge number of Spanish speakers who may not speak English in Texas, combined with the improving but existing lack of diversity in STEM fields, there a need for people who can advocate for these people but still have the technical knowledge to do something about it.
