Internship
Business Society of University of California Merced
During my internship with the Business Society club at the University of California, Merced, I participated in a group competition focused on creating a business or service targeting UC Merced students. Our group opted for a tech repair business, a field I was already familiar with. I was tasked with creating promotional flyers and handling other graphic design needs for our project. Notably, the graphic design ideas I developed for the group project were subsequently integrated into my own tech repair business. This experience not only led our team to victory in the competition but also provided me with the opportunity to refine my graphic design skills in a practical setting.

My efforts paid off, as the website quickly grew in popularity and reached thousands of readers.

Game Development
Personal Project On Roblox
In middle school, I developed a Roblox game that recreates the futuristic New York City from the TV show Futurama. I poured countless hours into designing every aspect of the city and adding intricate details to make players feel like they were truly exploring New New York. Now, with over 39,000 people having played the game and hundreds of people continuing to play it, it's surreal to think that something I created has brought joy to so many. Developing the game has been my creative outlet and escape from the stress of everyday life, and I will always cherish the memories and experiences that came with it.
