During my time at school, I had a chance to participate in multiple design competition, such as Toyota Logistic Design, Biomimicry Design Competition. Out of those competitions, I achieve top 10 in Toyota Competition, and my team achieved top 3 in Biomimicry Competition.

My main strength is prototyping, team building, and concept visualization. As I started my journey in the job world, I have great mentors that teach me how to be the best at what I do and become a reliable individual, with integrity, attention to details, and to always give 100% at what I do.


During my carrier, I realized that I need more than just creativity to be successful. I set out to learn more soft skills, interpersonal communication through Sales and Customer Service roles. What I have learned helps me tremendously in my communication, I am no longer afraid to speak, get my ideas across in a professional settings, I become more collaborative with people in my team, my clients.


I have had some ups and downs for the last 3 years due to personal health issues and motorcycle accident. However, through those adversities, I learned to treasure every moments I have during my professional carrier, as well as my love ones. I am more determined than ever to move forward and achieve greatness with the knowledge I have learned, the skills I have acquired, and the believes I have received. Thank you for your consideration and time to read my story.
