My Humble beginnings
Navigating life as a Filipino immigrant was a challenging odyssey. Hindered by numerous immigration obstacles, my aspirations for higher education were postponed for years, pushing me into survival mode. Lacking documentation, I took on roles such as house cleaning and various odd jobs, which, though demanding and humble, I embraced with appreciation and resilience. This period, however, also ignited my curiosity in technology. Driven by a desire to innovate in online selling and website creation, I embarked on a self-taught tech journey.
A particular incident that fueled my curiosity was an encounter with a technical book filled with complex symbols and equations during a cleaning job. It intrigued me and sparked a newfound passion for mathematics. Becoming a citizen marked a significant turn in my life, enabling me to chase my deferred educational dreams.
I dived into rigorous foundational courses in math and science at a city college, eventually finding myself passionately pursuing a bachelor’s degree in EECS. Returning to college was a test of perseverance against a backdrop of limited foundational knowledge and a generational learning gap. However, fueled by determination, curiosity, and a vision to explore beyond the ordinary, I embraced the journey. Now, with a fortified spirit, I stand on the brink of new possibilities, ready to expand, innovate, and make a meaningful impact in the world.
