March 2025-Present Starting a new position as a Graduate Research Assistant. Working to formulate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Development Lifecycle under the guidance of Professor Alka-Shah Jarvis.
During my undergraduate studies, I completed 3 internships that provided me with valuable insights into organizational dynamics, project management, & team collaboration. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the industry but also
allowed me to interact with a diverse group of professionals.
Currently, at Santa Clara University, I am assisting work towards the formulation of an AI Development Lifecycle. I have successfully completed a Teaching Assistant Position. As a TA, I had the opportunity to teach, support, and work with students from different countries. This was a memorable experience which helped me improve my methods of creating teaching aids, offering feedback, and instructing concepts.
Additionally, I have recently taken on another Teaching Assistant position in the School of Engineering. In this role, I am dedicated to fostering a collaborative & engaging learning environment.
