Years ago, I attended an introductory workshop on HTML and CSS hosted by Ladies Learning Code. I gained more than knowledge of coding that day; I realized that I could be a creator, not a mere consumer, of technology. This empowering experience drove me to spend the summer of 2014 learning front-end web development, which eventually established my career in web design and development.
My experiences working in the fields of technology and information have been incredibly eye-opening. I am fortunate to be exposed to a wide range of information and technology phenomena. Now, I am starting my journey in the discipline of information studies to examine and investigate these phenomena in depth and to contribute directly to shaping the relationships between information, technology, and people.
Currently, I am working with Professor Rohan Alexander on a natural language processing project. That is another story to be told.
